Old Japanese black maneki-neko object / 20th century / lucky ornament

About the Item

Here is a Japanese "Maneki Neko" (beckoning cat) figurine from the Showa era. It is made from either clay or plaster and features a simple yet impactful design. On the back, you can find the inscription "Yuuma Saku," which refers to Yuuma Tsukada, a sculptor from Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, who created the original model for this beckoning cat. Born in 1891, Tsukada was known for his various sculptures and was a prominent animal sculptor from Ishikawa. Unlike the common white maneki-neko, this figurine depicts a black cat. In Japan, black cats are considered auspicious, symbolizing protection from evil, good luck, and prosperity in business. Therefore, this piece is not only a decorative item but also believed to bring positive effects in terms of Feng Shui. The design, featuring a combination of red and black, is simple yet elegant. The understated look, rather than cute embellishments, stands out with a calm and refined atmosphere. It harmonizes well with modern spaces and Western-style interiors, making it suitable for any room. By displaying this maneki-neko in your space, you'll invite good fortune while adding a unique charm to the room. It’s an ideal item for those with an interest in Japanese traditional culture.
