Located in Aichi Prefecture, Tokoname has a rich ceramic tradition dating back to Japan’s Heian period (794–1185). Known as one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, the city is famous for its handcrafted kyusu and ceramic shrine statues. Beckoning cat figures (maneki-neko) are a signature sight in Tokoname and are thought to bring good fortune to the residents and travelers who cross their path.
