🌸 The very essence of Japanese ceramics. The hometown of Maneki-neko—Seto-yaki. ✨ Originating from Seto City and its surroundings in Aichi Prefecture, Seto-yaki dates back to the Kamakura period and is recognized as one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Seto was an early pioneer in glazing techniques and gained popularity for its ceramic Maneki-neko, to the point where "Seto-mono" became synonymous with ceramics. It was designated a Japanese Traditional Craft in 1977 and incorporated into Japan's Cultural Heritage program in 2017. Its style is approachable and understated, with diverse painting styles and forms, representing a charming presence that fits seamlessly into daily life. 🐱 The legend of the Maneki-neko is believed to have originated in Japan's Edo period. For a long time, they have been regarded as auspicious charms for good fortune and prosperity, believed to bring success in business, happiness in the home, and a multitude of customers. This is a set of Maneki-neko shaped like plump Daifuku pastries. Small cats, great fortune; good luck will find itself rushing towards you! They are perfect for placing on your desk, study table, or even adhering to your computer or calculator. Seeing them daily will bring a sense of cuteness and warmth, along with a touch of good luck. 💗 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55030836568_865d3976b5_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55030651551_b83e3c3dda_w.jpg ※ For wedding favor inquiries, please contact the designer at least one month before the wedding reception.
