The two pairs of chopsticks, adorned with traditional Japanese motifs in vivid colours, complete this invitation to savour the present moment.

When practicality meets symbolism
This set weaves together the useful and the beautiful: the chopsticks feel natural in hand, the cat-rest keeps the table impeccable, and the ensemble creates a refined Japanese atmosphere around your sushi, ramen or dimsum. But beyond the practical, it's the cultural wink that strikes home: according to Japanese tradition, the Maneki Neko would attract luck into the home that welcomes it, a touch of folklore that transforms a simple meal into a moment filled with meaning.
Presented in a sleek graphic box, this set slips easily into the hands of Japanese culture enthusiasts, fans of Japanese cuisine or collectors of iconic cats. For yourself or as a gift, it combines everyday elegance with auspicious symbolism, like a discreet invitation for fortune to join you at the table.
Beliefs surrounding the Maneki Neko stem from ancient traditions and belong to cultural folklore, to be appreciated as such.
The Maneki Neko: a symbol of luck from Japan
The Maneki Neko, literally 'beckoning cat', is one of the most recognisable figures in Japanese culture. Stationed at the entrance of shops, restaurants and homes, this cat with raised paw greets passers-by whilst wishing them prosperity and good fortune. According to tradition, the raised right paw would attract customers and money, whilst the left paw would invite visitors and luck into the home. Its red collar adorned with a bell and its benevolent gaze make it a lucky guardian cherished far beyond Japanese borders.
Born in the 19th century, with some tales placing it in a temple in Edo (old Tokyo), the Maneki Neko has established itself as an essential symbol of Japanese hospitality. Today we find it in ceramic, porcelain or plastic, in various sizes and colours, but always with that same welcoming gesture that invites trust and wellbeing. Here, it watches over your chopsticks between bites, weaving a subtle link between the everyday ritual of dining and the imaginary world of ancestral Japan.

- Ready-to-gift box: presented in an elegant black box with seigaiha (wave) motifs, perfect for a birthday, housewarming or to introduce someone to Japanese culture.
