Tokoname ware guardian cat | Small
A beckoning cat, shown only in part,
as if quietly peeking out from behind.
This form recalls the well-known “Tokonyan” in Tokoname,
a large cat that watches over the town,
with only its head and raised paw emerging into view.
In Japanese culture, the raised paw carries meaning.
The right is said to invite good fortune,
while the left calls in people and connection.
Cats from Tokoname are known for their large, expressive eyes
and softly rounded form,
a shape that has gently evolved over time.
A familiar symbol,
reduced to its most essential presence.
[Note]
Each product is carefully hand-painted by artisans. Due to the crafting process, slight color unevenness or individual variations may inevitably occur. Please kindly understand this as a unique characteristic and charm of the handcrafted items.
