Blep! While it bears the signature "Sawamura", not much is known about this cute, oversized #manekineko, which appears seems to be carved with its tongue sticking out. #caturday

The Fushimi kilns of #Kyoto began crafting distinctive #manekineko during the early Meiji period. By the middle of the Meiji period, their #cats became more sophisticated; the naturalistically rendered, seated cats faced directly forward with either paw raised. #beckoningcats

The Kutani kilns designed some of the most sumptuously decorated bibs, applying painted designs with raised patterning. The white #manekineko appears with a black kitten resting against her belly; both exhibit elaborate Kutani bibs. #BeckoningCats

This is your last week to see "Maneki Neko: Japan's Beckoning Cats." During the late Edo period (1615–1868), Japanese artisans began making maneki neko or beckoning cat figurines. Have you ever encountered a #ManekiNeko? #BeckoningCats
