Maneki Neko - Seto, Yakushi Kiln
招き猫 - 藥師窯

Seto is a city in Aichi Prefecture with a rich pottery production history, and has been the birthplace of numerous Maneki Neko for the past 100 years.  It is also the sight of the Maneki Neko Museum. Many neko on this page were made by the Yakushi Kiln. However there are some I am unsure of.
