Specialty products of the cat-loving prefecture
Let us introduce you to some of the proud local products of our cat-loving prefecture.
These are products that have been well-received by human customers.
Mubyō Jizo
The Yume Neko Jizo, enshrined at Mubyoji Temple in the prefecture, watches over the animals.
The name "Mubyou" (夢猫) is a play on words with "Mubyou" (無病), meaning "no illness," and is therefore believed to bring good health and protection from illness.
Related merchandise includes a wide range of items, from plush toys and keychains to figurines made using the latest 3D printers, making them popular souvenirs.
Because the shape of the urna (white hair between the eyebrows) resembles a paw print, it is also called "Paw Print Jizo."
My beloved cat, Mikan
Sweet and sour mandarins from Aichi Prefecture, where cats are a big part of the family.
The employees are packing the cats into boxes while suppressing the cats' natural instinct to want to get inside.
Delivered directly from producers throughout Japan.
Nyanko Kokeshi
It's called "Nyan Kokeshi" because it's a kokeshi doll made by a cat.
It all started when a cat, impressed by the traditional craft of making kokeshi dolls created by humans, became an apprentice and began making them itself.
They are sold as souvenirs and gifts.
