Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: Is this a mass-produced item? A: No. Each Kutani Yaki Maneki Neko is hand-painted by skilled artisans in Japan. Due to this artisanal process, minor variations in the pattern and gold application make every cat a unique piece of art.

Q: What do the two raised paws mean? A: In Japanese tradition, the left paw attracts customers/people, while the right paw attracts wealth. Having both paws raised represents a wish for total prosperity in both social and financial aspects.

Q: How should I clean this porcelain figurine? A: We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently dust the surface. Avoid water or chemical cleaners, as they may damage the delicate gold leaf and overglaze over time.
