Here's a little story behind our Maneki Neko:
A few years ago, our owner, Yukino, stumbled upon these charming figurines at a local antique fair in Tokyo and instantly fell in love with their clean and captivating design. After an extensive four-month search, we discovered that the mold for this Maneki Neko was created a century ago and had been recently rediscovered. This led to the revival of crafting these unique and cherished Maneki Neko figurines once again.
