Seto Sometsuke Yokosuwari Maneki Neko
Imbued with both tradition and a touch of whimsy, the Seto Sometsuke Yokosuwari Maneki Neko beckons good fortune into your life. Crafted by the skilled artisans at Chugai Toen, this Maneki Neko embodies a unique design element – its slender, almost hunchbacked posture, reminiscent of a real cat. This detail, a charming departure from the typical Maneki Neko pose, finds its roots in European plaster mold techniques used for Seto novelties, a testament to the art form's adaptability.
Further enriching its historical significance, the side-sitting posture echoes depictions seen in Utagawa Hiroshige's ukiyo-e prints, a fascinating link to the Edo period when most beckoning cats were displayed horizontally. Adding to its symbolic appeal, the raised right paw, as tradition dictates, is believed to attract wealth, while the left paw is said to invite good company. Purchase this stunning figurine and beckon wealth, good luck, and style into your everyday life.
