The process of mass-producing maneki-neko (Japanese lucky cats) in Japan. 

世界よ、これが招き猫だ

僕もこうして生まれてきました。

I ❤ the lucky cat especially as a bank. Here's a little about them and what the colors mean: Maneki-neko are typically depicted seated and holding a koban coin, an oval gold coin from Japan’s Edo period. It features the phrase, sen man ryou (千万両), meaning 10 million gold pieces. White: Happiness, purity Black: Safety, wards off evil spirits Red: Protection from illness Gold: Wealth and prosperity Pink: Love and romance Blue: Success in education Green: Family safety

Slipcasting of clay is one of those things that has always felt like it just shouldn't work to me, but somehow it does. Always interesting to see the process in action.

素晴らしいです。

Hand Made in Japan still means something. Need one for my home.

I did this in a few Ceramic Studios in Milwaukee for 30 years. I loved all of it! Filling, emptying, fettling and unmolding, it was fun!

好可愛❤

Wonderful process. Would love to see more. The creative process is awesome to watch. It must be a joy to see these cats created and come to life ❤️ through their creation.

直販されていると思い、直接梅月さんに行きましたが売っていませんでした。とても親切に対応していただきました。

1個1個、丁寧に本当に凄いと思いますわ。

招き猫は本当に幸運を運んできてくれる。 招き猫可愛い😊

Excellent video 😸 Always wanted to see this production process..........ありがとう

さすが　丁寧な各作業

I thought this would be something super high-tech. How amazing to see this old-fashioned manufacturing process, which still involves real craftsmanship and art, in use today. I have a little ceramic Japanese maneki-neko in my living room. I love it.

大きいのも貯金猫だったんだ すごくお金が貯まりそう

Сколько интересных традиций в Японии.Очень красиво! Котики приносят удачу !😺 Спасибо за видео.

色塗ってない状態の灰色とかナチュラルな色のやつがほしいなー。部屋に馴染みそう😮

原料流し込む型をつくる人もすごい職人なんだろうか

I need one for my home! ❤ Love it!

こんにちは、ビデオが気に入りました。この美しい招き猫を作るのは素晴らしいですね。スペインからのご挨拶😻😻 Kon'nichiwa, bideo ga kiniirimashita. Kono utsukushī manekineko o tsukuru no wa subarashīdesu ne. Supein kara no go aisatsu😻😻

こんなに手間をかけてるんですね。素晴らしい！

Beautiful work. What is the difference in colors of the cats? Blessings to you and your families 🥰🌺🤗

Great video! Thanks for showing us this process! I actually really like the fresh-from-the-oven bare clay look. Would be awesome to get one with just the pupils and eye outline painted black, but that's just me.

可愛い !

好療癒的製作過程😍😍😍

God bless these hands and their hard work. 🙏🏻

Que sea un proceso ARTESANAL lo transforma en una JOYA !!!!!!!

와. 이렇게 정성스럽고 예쁘게 만들어지는군요. 영상 너무 잘 봤습니다.

I collect maneki-neko figurines. I really loved watching them being made.

Người Nhật rất khéo tay làm những mặc hàng nhỏ. Cũng như hết sức chăm chỉ 🇯🇵👍.

2:52のとこの型から外したばっかりのが並んでるの可愛い😃

That's a lot of good luck!

These videos help one appreciate the hard work and artistry that go into making these lovely lucky cats. I've learned so very much from this channel. Thank you!

По идее должно быть три кошки черная,белая и красная или золотая.И все они разные по значению

Beautiful

Que Bacan no sabía del significado de sus manitos gracias por contarnos ❤lindo gatito ahora me gusto más 🐱

Really cool, but without the classic 'cat's eye', they look like they just got into the medicine cabinet and ate all the Haldol. NOW THE VOICES WON'T EVER STOP. THANKS, LUCKY CAT.

I've been doing this for over 50 years!
