Maneki neko

Seto-yaki & Mino-yaki Maneki Neko brings together the distinctive character of Aichi and Gifu Prefectures's pottery tradition with the functional role of maneki-neko (beckoning cat) figurines.

Seto-yaki & Mino-yaki is celebrated for its diverse classic glazes including Oribe green, Shino white, and Kiseto yellow, a quality that gives every piece in this category a signature presence. These iconic lucky cats are said to invite good fortune, prosperity, and welcome guests — each kiln brings its own character to the beloved form.

At Manekineko-Ai, we select Seto-yaki & Mino-yaki maneki neko directly from artisans in Aichi and Gifu Prefectures, offering pieces that combine Japanese tradition with lasting everyday use.
