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.

View AllJapanese Old Clay Doll / Mingei
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
An old Japanese clay doll.
This is probably a "Hirota Doll" made in Yamagata Prefecture in the Tohoku region.
Until around the 1950s, Japan's economy was not as prosperous as it is today. It was difficult for an ordinary household to have a complete display of Hina dolls, and only a very limited number of households could afford to buy them. It seems that ordinary people would celebrate by displaying clay dolls, tile dolls, and paper mache dolls...
