The Neko Cat Motif Hanten Coat: Traditional Japanese Good Luck Charm
The hanten is a traditional Japanese short coat that emerged in the 18th century during the Edo period. Unlike the kimono, it wasn’t reserved for the aristocracy and was worn by everyone. Our hanten stands out with its neko cat motif, a symbol of luck according to Japanese tradition.
The hanten is similar to the haori jacket but differs with its quilted cotton lining. This lining helps retain warmth, making it an ideal choice for cooler seasons like autumn and winter.
The motif of this cotton coat features small cats called maneki neko, which literally means “the beckoning cat.” In Japan, these cats are considered good luck charms and are highly regarded. The collar of the coat is accentuated with a strip of black fabric, adding an extra touch of elegance.
