Hello!

Do you have any kimonos that contain bells or Maneki Neko? I love both and would love to see some :3

Hi! Bonshô (Buddhist temple bell) and dôtaku (Yayoi period bell) are rare on garments, but tiny bells are pretty common on kimono and obi are those are super auspicious objects (ring was thought to ward off evil away)! Look for for 鈴 suzu.

Maneki neko are more a cute novelty pattern but you can find items patterned with beckoning cat/other animals or auspicious calico cat, often associated with gold koban coins :3

New Papercraft has been published on PaperCraftSquare: Link: http://www.papercraftsquare.com/dotaku-bell-free-papercraft-download.html Paper Craft Name: Dotaku Bell Free Papercraft Download Description:

This papercraft is a Dotaku, Japanese bell smelted from relatively thin bronze and richly decorated, the paper model designed by Mochizuki Printing Co., Ltd. Dotaku were used for about 400 years, between the second century B.C. and the second century C.E., and were nearly only used as decorations for rituals.

They were richly decorated with patterns representing nature and animals, among which the dragonfly, praying mantis and spider are featured. Historians believe that dotaku were used to pray for good harvests, as the animals featured are natural enemies of insect pests that attack paddy fields. There is a dotaku museum devoted to the bells in Yasu city in Southern Japan.
