Just looking at it makes me feel happy
I would like to create a wooden carving that will make your heart skip a beat when you see a cat on the street. Each one is carefully made with that thought in mind. Cats are free-spirited animals who can suddenly become affectionate just when you think they are being cold. If you have a cat plate, it will always make you feel warm inside.
Adorable expression
The cat's facial expressions and gestures are just like those of a real cat, and just looking at it will make you smile. The eyes are made of artificial lacquer, so you will feel as if they are staring at you just like the real thing.
Precious and cute
The unique texture of wood carvings expresses an indescribable cuteness. Wood carvings cannot be mistaken or corrected. Once you start carving, you have no choice but to move forward, and Kuromiya says he likes getting closer and closer to completion. You can see the love for cats overflowing in each piece.
Just leaving it there
Cat items can enrich your daily life just by having them there. Not only can you place a few snacks on it to enjoy your own relaxing time, but it is also recommended to use it as a place to store accessories such as earrings and rings.
Since each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, grain, shape, size, thickness, patterns and designs. Also, enjoy the changes over time as the color and texture become more tasteful over the years. You cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to receiving it. If you are interested, please contact us before shipping and we will email you a photo.

Recommended care methods and precautions from Kuromiya Ai |
*We use paint that complies with the Food Sanitation Act. * You can use a neutral dishwashing detergent without any problems. * If the parts other than the cat part become rough and whitish, you can polish it with sandpaper and then apply walnut oil or linseed oil to extend the life of the product. It is also fine to just apply oil. If you are concerned about the cat part, please refrain from using sandpaper and apply a small amount of oil. |
Understanding of "woodworking" |
〇Since each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. *The grain, pattern, color, and texture will vary depending on the part of the tree that is cut and used. The color and texture will change over the years. *We process the product images to make them as close to the actual colors as possible, but the colors and textures may appear different depending on the display screen of your computer or smartphone. *In addition to inspection by the manufacturer, kiln, and artist, we only deliver products that have passed final inspection at our store. *The product photos are sample shots, so the items you receive will not be identical in every detail. * We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer convenience. Please understand and agree before making a purchase. We hope you enjoy the unique "flavor" and "interestingness" that can only come from something handmade, not mass-produced in a factory! |
