Keep it long, treasure it long.

Mysterious cat

The interior object Shofuku Neko is based on the motif of familiar but always mysterious cats. The representative of cat figurines that bring good fortune is the beckoning cat, and other beckoning motifs besides cats also include owls, but this also reminds me of the cat that is regarded as an Egyptian god somehow.

Hot taste

A cast invitation cat made using traditional techniques from Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. The coloured blue cat looks up at you as if it is sitting with its back straight. This appearance has a different meaning from that of a cat lying down anywhere at will, and has a fascinating charm. As it does not have the glamour of an Egyptian goddess, you can make use of the beckoning cat's neck, tail and ears and use it as a place to hang rings, necklaces, bracelets and other accessories to be removed at bedtime. Choose also as a birthday present for a cat-loving friend.

The beginning of the third generation

The company started as a foundry in 1939 and Otani Kisaku Shoten was established in 1962. The company produced a variety of cast products, including zodiac ornaments, but as times changed, demand for mere ornaments declined and more companies closed down due to a lack of successors, the third generation decided to carry on the Takaoka craftsmanship that had been handed down from his grandfather's generation. Instead of the traditional division of labour, Otani Kisaku Shoten carries out integrated production from design, prototype production, plate production, casting, finishing, colouring and packaging, with the aim of creating practical products that fit in with modern life. The manufacturer's manufacturing products, which continue to explore new possibilities while preserving manufacturing traditions, make everyday life just a little bit richer, making them good birthday gifts, housewarming gifts or gifts for cat lovers.
