These cats with adorable expressions are looking back at you. Just looking at them makes us happy, and for cat lovers, cats are a symbol of happiness. In Japan, cats have long been considered auspicious animals that ward off evil and bring happiness. It is said that because cats can see in the pitch darkness of night, they were regarded as a symbol of protection from evil and a harbinger of good luck. Black cats, in particular, are said to possess a "mystical power" due to their enigmatic appearance. Although cats tend to act indifferent, it is said that if you treat them with kindness, they will give you something in return before you know it.

Ise Katagami is a traditional craft that is hand-carved for dyeing patterns on kimonos. In the late 19th century, it traveled to Europe and the United States, where it greatly influenced art movements such as Art Nouveau in France, Arts & Crafts in England, and Jugendstil in Germany. It is a "design that the world fell in love with."

This stylish coffret features a pattern carefully selected by an Ise Katagami manufacturer with 100 years of history, specially engraved on paulownia wood.

Enjoy the fun of design that colors your everyday life, whether it's used for organizing business cards on your desk, as an accessory box on your dressing table, for organizing cards next to the telephone, or as a key box in your entryway. It comes with a black gift box, making it perfect for gifts.
