Born of the principle “Because cats love Kawara, right?”, Sansyu Noyasu Co., Ltd., a 100-year-old Sansyu kawara manufacturer established in 1913, created a cat house called “Kawara Neko,” crafted from the same traditional Sansyu tile-making techniques that have been in use since the Edo period.
It was inspired by the sight of a cat sleeping comfortably on top of kawara.
“Kawara Neko” combines traditional techniques with innovative ideas to provide a comfortable space for cats around the world.
