Paint Your Own Maneki-Neko Lucky Cat in Osaka

Create your own maneki-neko, Japan’s lucky cat believed to invite good fortune and meaningful connections, in this 90-minute painting workshop. At DARUMA LAB., you’ll learn about the meaning of the lucky cat before decorating its face and body with your favourite colours and patterns. You can also use a brush to add a wish, your name or a message for someone special. Wish for success in business, good health or happiness — the words are yours to choose. Bring your lucky cat to life with colours and words that mean something to you. Our staff guide you through each step, so no painting or brush lettering experience is needed. Your finished lucky cat will be dried and ready to take home the same day. The 90-minute experience includes drying time, and all tools and materials are provided. Make a lucky charm for yourself, a gift to celebrate a new business, or a keepsake for a birthday or anniversary.
