“Designer’s NEKO” is a cat-themed creation with a unique design that stands out, produced by Imai Daruma NAYA, Inc., which blends tradition with modernity. It features the papier-mâché technique that has been passed down for 95 years in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, and the delicate craftsmanship of artisans, achieving a balance of light texture and durability using Japanese paper. While preserving traditional techniques, this product incorporates contemporary artistic elements, making it a striking presence as an interior piece. Under the leadership of the third-generation head, Hirohisa Imai, it has received high acclaim both domestically and internationally, expanding into markets in Europe, America, and Asia, continuing to evolve from a global perspective. The harmony of a spirit rooted in local craftsmanship and a unique design offers warmth and individuality not found in mass-produced items. As a new expression beyond traditional crafts, it can be widely used as a gift, collection, or accent in spaces. The handmade expressions and textures add color and stories to the lives of those who use it, making it a remarkable piece.
