Hello OHMily,

My name is Kit @ OHM. I recently adopted a kitten and now I'm obsessed with cats.

This Maneki-neko is not your typical lucky cat, as it is tied to the infamous yakuza, Japan's notorious organized crime syndicate.

This sterling silver bead features a striking design with a sword in its mouth, representing its dark and mysterious past. The sword's sharp edge contrasts the bead's smooth and polished surface, making it a bold and eye-catching bead.

Furthermore, this Maneki-neko is depicted holding a fish in its hand, symbolizing abundance and good fortune. The intricate details of the fish's scales and fins, paired with the Maneki-neko's deceiving smiley expression, make this bead a true masterpiece.
