Bring a ship full of good fortune into your home with this Seven Lucky Cats treasure ship — a Seto ware ceramic figurine made in Japan, with seven maneki neko sailing together aboard a takarabune.

In Japanese tradition, the takarabune (宝船) is the treasure ship of the Seven Lucky Gods, said to sail into harbor bringing luck for the year ahead. Here the seven gods are playfully reimagined as seven beckoning cats — layering the maneki neko's welcome with sevenfold blessings for wealth, happiness, and long life.

That makes this piece a classic congratulatory gift in Japan: for a shop opening, a new business, a new home, a wedding, or any fresh start — and it arrives gift-ready in its box, with a red display cloth included.

The red felt zabuton can be lightly brushed clean.
Slight variations in brushwork and color placement are part of each piece's individual character.
