This Hello Kitty Maiko Beckoning Cat figurine blends the beloved charm of Hello Kitty with the deep-rooted Japanese tradition of the Maneki Neko (beckoning cat). Crafted by Kakinuma Dolls in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, each piece is made using the Edo Kimekomi doll-making technique, a traditional craft where fabrics are carefully inlaid into carved grooves, creating a seamless and refined finish.
Each figurine features Hello Kitty dressed as a maiko, an apprentice geisha, wearing a richly patterned kimono made from vibrant Japanese textiles. Every color variation (Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Green, Black) has its own distinct personality, expressed through intricate floral motifs, obi belts, hair bows, and delicate accessories such as small hanging bells and tsumami kanzashi-style fabric flowers.
The beckoning cat is a symbol of good fortune in Japan, believed to invite wealth, attract customers, and bring success in business. Traditionally placed in shops, restaurants, and homes, it is also given as a gift to celebrate new beginnings or to wish someone prosperity. In this design, Hello Kitty’s raised paw holds the same meaning, calling in luck and opportunity.
This figurine is lightweight yet detailed, making it suitable as a collectible, decorative piece, or meaningful gift. Each one is finished by hand, with artisans carefully selecting fabrics and ensuring the face, posture, and kimono details meet high standards of Japanese doll artistry.
