{"product_id":"metal-alloy-ornament-lucky-cat-gold","title":"Metal Alloy Ornament with Urushi Paint - Lucky Cat - Gold \/ 銀雅堂 招き猫","description":"\u003cp\u003eTakaoka is Japan’s metal city. For over four hundred years, its foundries have cast everything from temple bells to tea ceremony vessels, and the city’s craftspeople have built a quiet, unshakeable reputation for knowing what metal can do. NAGAE has been part of that story since 1954 — not as a museum piece, but as a working manufacturer that continues to carry the material forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes NAGAE especially compelling is the way this long metalworking heritage is translated into objects for contemporary life. Their pieces feel clean and considered, yet never cold — shaped by technical skill, careful finishing, and a deep respect for the material itself. In them, the weight, surface, and character of metal are allowed to speak with clarity, bringing a sense of strength and refinement into everyday use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maneki-neko — Japan's beloved beckoning cat — has been a symbol of good fortune for centuries. A raised right paw is said to draw in wealth and prosperity, making it a cherished presence in homes and businesses alike. This figure is cast from metal alloy in Takaoka and finished in gold plating, giving it a warm, luminous presence that suits the cat's association with abundance. A small object with a generous spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs every piece has its handmade features, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour, and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e■\u003c\/span\u003e What's included?
