In Japanese culture, a Maneki-Neko raising its left paw is meant to beckon customers, people, and good relationships to a business or home.
Design Details: The cat features a prominent blue-and-white patterned bib/collar around its neck, detailed whiskers, and lucky motifs painted down its flanks.
It is made of glazed white porcelain with cobalt blue hand-painted accents.
This style of blue-and-white porcelain Maneki-Neko is historically tied to kiln regions like Seto (Seto-yaki) or Kutani.
在日本文化中,舉起左手的招財貓寓意為店家或家庭招客源、招人氣與招好人緣。
其頸繫醒目的藍白花紋圍巾,鬍鬚刻畫細緻,身側飾有吉祥圖案。
招財貓以施釉白瓷製成,搭配手繪鈷藍紋飾。
這類青花瓷招財貓的風格,歷來與瀨戶燒Seto-yaki或九谷燒Kutani等日本窯場傳統有所關聯。
