Cat figurine outlets "Japanese Lucky Cat3" resin work. Relaxing figure of healing. Cute tabletop interior made in Japan.

Lucky Cat is a traditional and famous japanese craft.
I made it into a form with my original expression.
There are various theories about the origin of the "invited cat", but one of them was the age of the samurai. A local lord passed by the temple on the way back from the samurai hunt. At that time, a cat was beckoning in front of the temple, so when I followed him to the temple, He was able to avoid a thunderstorm. It is a story like.
Then, it became a legend of "the cat which invites happiness".
I imagined that if a cat would actually beckon, it would be like this, so I tried to shape it.
I have produced "Inviting Cat" many times, outlets and this is the third time.
It is said that the right hand is raised is "inviting money" and the left hand is "inviting people".

[Explanation of the production method]
First of all, the prototype is made carefully to the detail by the plastic construction. A silicone mold is produced from the prototype, and the resin is poured into it to cure it. When you get it out of the mold, finish it with sandpaper one by one at the end. It is often misunderstood, but it seems to be easy to make a lot because it is made from a silicone mold, but it is a misunderstanding. After taking it out of the mold, finishing one point is a very nerve-intensive and technical task. Therefore, even if there are several things that were put out of the mold, it takes time to finish one point, so the exhibition will also be one point at a time.

[Notes]
In order to take advantage of the sense of touch, we do not paint the surface, we make use of the material color of the resin as it is. Therefore, it yellows little by little with age. Please forgive me.
The serial number is stamped in an inconspicuous place of the work. There are four numbers, the first two are the work numbers, and the second two are unique numbers.
