Purification of Poisonous Energy

[006] Impostor Invitation Dokudoku Nametan (Silver)

The Dokudoku Nametan, a counterpart to the Maneki Modoki Nametan. So potent is its venom that the round crests appearing on it are not those of a lucky cat, but rather resemble a snake's eye (janome). This is Nametan Mori Shrine's first spray-painted specification, infused with sparkling glitter. This auspicious Dokudoku Nametan was born from a request from Hakaba Gallery to dedicate a special Nametan, commemorating the New Year of Reiwa 8. Limited to thirty pieces.

【Sacred Talisman Lore】

In a city teeming with desire and incessant nocturnal clamor, sorrow and loneliness accumulate beneath a veneer of laughter. The Dokudoku Nametan, residing there, endures daily immersion in its strong venom, finding no easy path to prosperity. Yet, it serves to absorb this venom and ward off misfortune. Its journey to the Maneki Neko heralds a sign of change.
