Neko Box - Autumn Cats

This Neko Box is all about autumn cats. From the Japanese cultural aspect, this box includes some knowledge about Community cats and Temple cats.

The first thing that caught my eye in this box was the ornament cat. It is designed to bring good luck and fortune into a person's life (need!).

The mini Maple dish was the cutest thing ever! It comes in 3 different colors mine was green. 

The sleeping cat dish is very charming and would be a great way to display snacks. There are three different designs, the one I got I dubbed “the smug cat”.

The happy cat bowl makes me happy, it holds soup and rice really well and is pleasant to look at.

I have to admit, I still have not opened the Autumn Flower Cloth but the material is really beautiful and light.

Finally, the postcard. That card is giving me ideas for a mixed media painting and I can’t wait to start when I have time.

Neko Box - Mountain Train Journey

          This box is all about the mountains of Kyushu and the Luxury slow trains. The reason that I love this box, apart from the awesome stuff in it is the amount of cultural information they add in. I love learning about new things and I know whenever I open a Neko Box I will learn something.

          The Kurume Kasuri Woven Coaster by Wamomen comes in there different colors and I got the Navy one. I love how different this is. The coasters that I have are all either cork, wood, or metal.

          I loved this next bowl, it is called the Rabbit bowl and it is by Asahi Kyoyo. It is a lightweight resin bowl used for soups, rice and noodle dishes.

          The vintage gold spoon by Tsubame, having not seen the other design, I’m going to say that I got the Matte Gold. It can be used for tea or soups.

          Next up is the Vintage Floral cup by Saikai Touki; it is made from ceramic and can be used to hold tea, coffee or for scoops of Gelato.

         Patterned mini dish by Yamada Seni, I got the bird design and it is pretty and sturdy. It can be used for snacks, side dishes, dessert or even for storing small accessories.


          Finally, the Neko Box Artprint and I’ve already got ideas for this print. I really thing it would look good in a mixed media compostion.

New subscription Alert!! Neko Box - Kissaten Coffee

          This is my first Neko Box. I get the Zakka Kit from the same company though and I love it. The theme for this box is Kissaten Coffee.  The first thing that I saw as I opened my box was the information booklet. 

          Inside the booklet there is the information on what is inside the box, information about the Kissaten Culture and information on an antique cafe. On the back of the booklet there are two recipes, one for coffee and one for cake.

          Then I opened the wrapping and took at the first item; Asanoha Cotton Cloth by Seirai Gokachi. I love the material of the cloth!

          The next two items are linked together. A coffee cup and its saucer, both of them striped, by Tokusa. There are three colors dark blue, rich brown and cream. I got the brown one. 

          The next item is really cute. It is a two-color Glazed Mini Bowl by Tasai Kitchen. It either comes in blue or cream, mine is blue and it is used to either serve sweets or sugar. 

          Finally, a Kissaten Art Print by Neko Box. It is printed on Japanese paper. It arrived a little crumbled but nothing that can’t be fixed.

          Overall, I’m very please with my first Neko box. I love my coffee cup and saucer as well as the mini bowl and cloth. The print is really pretty too.
