Kyoto Chirimen Handmade Ornament - The Lucky Beckoning Cat

【Bringing Abundant Good Fortune! Kyoto Handmade Chirimen Ornament - The Lucky Beckoning Cat】 This "Lucky Beckoning Cat" handmade chirimen ornament, crafted by artisans in Kyoto, Japan, is not only charmingly cute but also embodies numerous auspicious meanings! The beckoning cat itself is a symbol of good fortune, and this particular cat carries an abundance of "Engimono" (lucky charms) on its back, signifying the bringing of good luck, wealth, and peace to you! The meaning of the Japanese wooden tag is precisely "Carrying abundant lucky charms," which is why we named it the "Lucky Beckoning Cat." 【Ryukodo: A Century of Warm Handcrafted Heritage】 This ornament comes from "Ryukodo," a century-old shop in Kyoto. Ryukodo is renowned for its exquisite, generations-old craftsmanship, specializing in handmade washi paper ornaments. Each piece embodies the artisan's dedication, from the selection and shaping of the washi paper to the delicate painting, all meticulously completed by hand. Ryukodo's creations are more than just decorations; they are works of art that carry Kyoto's traditional culture, allowing every collector to feel the warm touch of handmade craftsmanship. 【Each Engimono on its Back Symbolizes Good Fortune】 - Treasure Mallet: The treasure mallet held by Daikokuten symbolizes striking "a thousand pieces of gold," and some say it's a mallet that can transform at will, signifying "wishes coming true"! - Rice Bag: Three bundles of golden rice bags symbolize "abundant harvest" and a life of prosperity. - Daruma: Besides bringing good luck, Daruma also has the effect of "warding off misfortune," dispelling inner demons or negative influences. If the Daruma's eyes are not yet painted, you can paint one eye to make a wish; when both eyes are painted, it signifies that the wish has come true, brimming with the power to realize dreams! - Sea Bream (Tai): Often appearing with Ebisu, it also symbolizes "abundant harvest." In ancient times, only the wealthy could afford sea bream, thus it also carries the meaning of "great wealth and nobility"! 【Traditional Chirimen Craftsmanship, Warm Handcrafted Texture】 This ornament is crafted using traditional Japanese chirimen fabric, cut and sewn by artisans. Each piece of fabric is meticulously treated by the craftsman, giving the beckoning cat a lively expression and rich details. The unique texture and soft feel of the chirimen fabric make this ornament not only a visual delight but also imbued with the warmth of handmade quality. Whether placed in your home, office, or shop, this "Lucky Beckoning Cat" will add a touch of Japanese aesthetics and abundant blessings to your space. It is an excellent choice for personal collection or a unique gift to convey good wishes to friends and family. 【Product Specifications】 Dimensions: W14 x D10 x H15 cm Material: Chirimen, molding material Origin: Japan 【Precautions】 ※ As all items are handmade, there will be slight variations in color, pattern, and shape for each finished product.
