This White & Gold Kutani-yaki Manke Neko is a limited creation by Kintama Nakada - the virtuoso of the Kutani-yaki art, the highest technique holder of the Grain-uchi technique. Kintama Nakada's production was once selected and used by His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan.

Grain-uchi, also known as a grain-punching technique, is a time-consuming and a quest of skills for a Kutani-yaki artist. The grains, called "Chibu" found on the Kutani-yaki objects are universally recognized as dignity and elegance. The origin of this technique back from the end of the Meiji Era (1868-1912) to the beginning of the Taisho Era (1912-1926). 

Kintama Nakada is in their 3rd generation in preserving & mastering this technique. 

Looking up close, the grains are meticulously arranged into whirls and ocean waves pattern - The mesmerising contrast of color use and texture against the smooth white face, easily draws anyone's attention to further reveal the details of this Mankei Neko:

  • Gold arabesques patterns fold on the body, the ears and the tails, by gold-pating technique called Kinzori.
  • The bell and silky-like, curvy scarf around the cat's neck, implicating this is not a strayed cat, but a cat that is well-loved and admired by people (Which you should, too).
  • The vivid facial expression and the waiving right hand, as if everything that people wished, can be easily attracted to.

This lucky charm ornament can be used to invite happiness at home or as a gift.
