〜Seto ware has a history of 1,300 years.
The beckoning cat has long been loved as a good-luck charm that brings prosperity in business, happiness in the family, and the arrival of many customers.

[History of the beckoning cat]
Although wild wildcats have inhabited Japan since ancient times, there were no domestic cats as pets as we know them today. Cats as domesticated cats first came to Japan in 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 damage by rats.

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.

[Meaning of the length of the upraised hand]
There is also a difference in the height of the raised hand. The hands that are raised above the ears are called "long hands" and those that are raised modestly below the ears are called "short hands." It is believed that the longer the hands are extended, the more distant and bigger blessings are invited, and the shorter the hands are, the more familiar and small happiness is invited.

[Meaning of the items they carry].
The image of a beckoning cat is that of holding a koban, but early beckoning cats did not have kobans, and most of them had a bell hanging from their collars. It is said that this bell gradually changed to a koban. The koban is painted with an amount of money and auspicious words such as "kaiun" (good luck) and "shofuku" (good fortune), directly reflecting the wishes of the beckoning cat. It is interesting to note that the amount of money depicted on the koban has increased over time from [senryo] [ten thousand ryo] [ten thousand ryo] to [billion ryo]. The more modest the amount, the older the koban is considered to be, basically.

Where do you put it, east, west, south, north, south, east? z
The basic place to place a beckoning cat is in front of a store 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.
