This listing is for a small maneki neko display to celebrate the month of August.  It comes from the ’12 Months Series of Events in Japan’ and depicts a maneki neko enjoying ‘hanabi’.  ‘Hanabi’ fireworks festivals are an inherent part of Japanese summer and enjoyed by people of all ages across Japan.  The set includes the small paper screen decorated with fireworks, a small earthenware mosquito coil holder shaped like a pig, a small bamboo mat, and a plastic display board.  This set also comes with its original paper storage box.

Banko-ware refers to pottery made in Mie Prefecture. It is characterized by a dark rusty colour and is made by mixing iron-rich clay with yellow clay. The colour variation is due to low oxygen levels and incomplete combustion when firing. Decorations are generally very simple, and done while the clay is still wet. Banko-ware is well-known for its durability and resistance to high temperatures.
