Sometsuke Nishiki Lucky & Fortune Maneki Neko (Left paw raised)
染錦開運招福招き猫(左手上げ・3.5号)
Sometsuke is a traditional decorative technique long practiced in Seto, Japan’s historic pottery town. It involves painting designs with cobalt pigment (gosu) on a white ceramic base, then applying a glaze and firing the piece.
The Sometsuke Nishiki Maneki Neko features the refined elegance unique to this technique, highlighted by its smooth white porcelain surface. It also includes a decorative bib (maedare), a characteristic element of Maneki Neko from Seto - often considered the birthplace of the beckoning cat.
In Japan, Maneki Neko are often placed at entrances to welcome good fortune, prosperity, and customers. They also make charming decorative accents for any living space.
With its slightly understated and sophisticated style, this piece reflects the essence of Seto craftsmanship and is ideal for those who appreciate authentic, high-quality ceramics.

Story
The brand name “Yakushigama” comes from a small shrine dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai (the Buddha of Healing), believed to have been created by the monk Gyoki. This shrine stood on the grounds of Chugai Toen until the late Edo period.
The Maneki Neko, or 'beckoning cat,' is widely known in Japan as a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
A cat raising its right paw is believed to invite wealth and financial luck, while a cat raising its left paw is said to attract good relationships and meaningful connections.
With its gentle expression and distinctly Japanese charm, the Maneki Neko brings warmth and a peaceful atmosphere into any space.
Simply placing one in an entryway, on a desk, or in a living room can quietly invite a sense of luck and positivity into everyday life.
Enjoy this special piece filled with Japanese culture, meaning, and tradition.
