Description
| Seto ware has a history of 1,300 years. The beckoning cat has long been favored as a good-luck charm that brings prosperity in business, happiness in the family, and the arrival of many customers. Although wild cats have inhabited Japan since ancient times, there were no domestic cats as pets as we know them today. Cats as domesticated cats came to Japan during the Nara period (710-794). They came to Japan with Buddhism from China. It is said that they were carried on ships to protect Buddhist scriptures and books from rodent damage. The earliest mention of cats is found in "Nihon ryoiki" written in the early Heian period (794-1185), and there are descriptions of domesticated cats in "Pillow Book" and "Tale of Genji", suggesting that cats were familiar to people at least in the Heian period. [White beckoning cat] White beckoning cats are believed to bring good fortune. [Manekineko with its right hand raised] A beckoning cat with its right hand raised is a [blessing] cat. The "good fortune" here refers mainly to money. This beckoning cat is perfect for people who wish to increase their money and luck. [Manekineko with its left hand raised]. A beckoning cat with its left hand raised is a cat that [invites people in]. For this reason, it is often placed in restaurants, service businesses, and other establishments that want many customers to come. Where should it be placed? z The basic placement of a beckoning cat is in front of a storefront if it is a store, or at the front door if it is a home. This is the place where you can invite good fortune and luck to come to you. If you place it at home, you can also place it in the living room or some other place where the family can see it often. #Made in Japan #Seto Yaki |

招き猫は商売繁盛・家内円満・千客万来をもたらす縁起物として永く愛用されています。
<招き猫の歴史>
日本には野生の山猫は昔から生息していたものの、今でいうペットとしての家猫は存在していなかった。飼い猫としての猫が日本にやってきたのは奈良時代。中国から仏教とともに日本にやってきた。仏教の経典や書籍などを鼠の被害から守るため船に乗せられて来たといわれている。
平安初期に書かれた『日本霊異記』に猫に関する最古の記述があり、『枕草子』や『源氏物語』には飼い猫にまつわる描写があることから、少なくとも平安時代には身近な存在になっていたことがうかがえる。
＜白い招き猫＞
白い招き猫は、福を呼ぶとされています。
＜右手を上げている招き猫＞
右手を上げている招き猫は、「福を招く」猫。ここでいう「福」とは、主に金運のことです。金運アップや、運気上昇を願う人にぴったりの招き猫です。
＜左手を上げている招き猫＞
左手を上げている招き猫は「人を招く」猫。そのため、飲食店やサービス業など、お客さんにたくさん来てほしい店に置かれることがよくあります。
〇東西南北、どこに置く？〇
招き猫を置く場所の基本は、お店なら店先、自宅なら玄関。外にいる福や運をおいでおいでと招くことができる場所です。また、自宅に置く場合はリビングなど、家族がよく目にする場所に置くのもOK。
