A tiny sleeping cat figure settles into your space like a quiet exhale, its soft, rounded silhouette capturing the warmth of a feline curled up mid-nap.
Handcrafted from stone clay, each piece goes through repeated cycles of drying and carving, then careful hand-sanding with sandpaper and fine tools. The artist shapes every curve to bring out a gentle expression, a sense of breath, and a lifelike warmth in something so small. Because the sculpture is compact enough to rest in your palm, a small glass marble is tucked inside as a weight, giving it a surprisingly satisfying heft for its size.
This sleeping cat motif has long been a comforting presence in Japanese craft, and this piece offers a fresh, palm-sized take on that quiet, restful charm. A round, soothing form made to bring a little calm wherever it sits.
This is a new, handmade piece, not a used item.
