{"product_id":"orange-maneki-neko-figurine-daidaineko","title":"Orange Maneki Neko Figurine 'Daidaineko'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOrange lucky cat with both paws raised, brushed with a wish for money luck\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrange, with a wish for the wallet. This lucky cat is glazed ceramic in a bright orange with a white face, both forepaws raised, a gold pattern on the ears, and a wish for money luck brushed in dark characters down the body, with a red cord collar and a brass bell at each paw. It is the warmest of the six single-colour cats in the collection, and the one for the till.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrange is for money, and this is the cat for a shop, a stall or a person who sells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Daidaineko, is the bitter-orange cat, the colour of the body, and the fruit is the New Year one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cat is glazed ceramic, cast hollow, painted and fired, with the collar a real red cord and the bells real brass, and a slot at the back for coins with a stopper underneath, so it is a money box as well as a figure. It sits on a red brocade cushion, as photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it where a shop puts it: by the door, on the counter, facing the room, with the raised paw towards the people coming in. In a house that is the hall table, the kitchen shelf or the desk. The right paw raised is for money and the left for people; both raised is for both, and most of the cats here are greedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour is the detail: a glossy orange that reads as gold in lamplight, with the characters brushed in black and gold beside a small red stamp and a green sprig. The ears carry the gold brocade pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beckoning cat began in Edo, with a temple cat that waved a lord in from a storm, and it has sat at shop doors ever since; the raised paw is the Japanese come-here, palm down, which a Westerner reads as a wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft cloth; wipe with a damp one if it needs it. It is ceramic and it breaks, so keep it off the edge of the shelf. The cushion can be sponged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room it is an orange cat with both paws up. From close the characters show their brush, the ears their gold, and the glaze its gloss. It is the cat for a counter and a person who wants money to come in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 11 by 11 cm, the size of a fist, and it sits on its cushion at the same scale as every cat in the collection, so the pages compare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"11 x 11 cm","offer_id":59207954366812,"sku":"14:351268#4.5 inch K","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/orange-maneki-neko-figurine-daidaineko-1.jpg?v=1790586028","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/orange-maneki-neko-figurine-daidaineko","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
