This is a lucky cat created by Kamide Nagazaemon Kiln. The bell is entirely made of Kutani porcelain. The body is fired without glaze, and the large bell makes a rattling sound when shaken. Traditionally, a raised right paw invites wealth, while a left paw invites people (guests). This piece raises its right paw to attract wealth. The simple golden bell features a cute bow on its back.
3% of the sales of this product (excluding tax and shipping) will be donated to support animal rescue efforts for animals affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The donation recipient is currently undecided, as the recruitment by the Ishikawa Veterinary Association has ended.
Note: Each piece is hand work by the artist, even the same piece will have a slightly different expression.
