Sekikazu "Oiran Cat - The Tale of Dayu Shirayuki"

======

I can't believe Kazu Seki, who makes aggressive jewelry, creates such a heartwarming story!

--Masaki Kyomoto

“A woman blooms where she is placed.

Come on, let's see it bloom beautifully here in Yoshiwara."

Gorgeous “cat” courtesan story drawn by a world-famous jewelry designer who loves cats

The appearance of kittens running around to fold.

The appearance of the kittens running around like multicolored balls of floss being blown by the wind makes even their rough clothes look radiant.

The bright laughter of the kittens echoed over and over again in the valleys of the mountains, along with their high-pitched cries.

A long time ago, this is the story of a cat named "Yuki".

Born on a snowy day, this child had beautiful fur like a child of snow.

The "Ceramic Art Manekineko" exhibition is held during the "Kuru Fuku Manekineko Festival" held annually in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture.

In that project in 2018, “Oiran Manekineko Oinyan” designed by jewelry designer Kazu Seki was produced.

This was made into a three-dimensional figure by craftsmen from Chugai Touen, a maker in Seto, and finally decorated with jewels by Sekikazu himself.

"Oiran Neko" is the story of Dayu Shirayuki, conceived by Kazu Seki during the production process.
