Mori is a type of paint called Deco Mori paint, applied with a unique tool called "Itchin." The Deco Mori paint has such a textured surface that you might think it has a massage effect when you touch it. Furthermore, Mori is a highly skilled and time-consuming technique, and there are few artisans who can do it, so in recent years the rarity of the piece itself has increased. ■The origin of the sleeping cat There are various origins for the sleeping cat, but it has been loved since ancient times as a symbol of "peace," representing a peaceful world where even a small animal as wary as a cat can "sleep peacefully." ■Kutani ware, designated as a traditional craft by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry ■Country of origin: Made in Japan ■Material: Ceramics ■Accessories: Cushion included ■Gift box specifications: Comes in a special presentation box ■Recommended for gifts: Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, grand opening celebrations, housewarming gifts, presents, etc.!
