TOKYO, JAPAN STREET ART: SPACE INVADER ~ MANEKI-NEKO

Published on by jacquelinemhadel2 Comments

The maneki-neko(Japanese: 招き猫?, literally “beckoning cat“) is a common Japanese figurine (lucky charm, talisman), usually made of ceramic in modern times, which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. The figurine depicts a cat (traditionally a calicoJapanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed—often at the entrance—in shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. Some of the sculptures are electric or battery-powered and have a slow-moving paw beckoning. The maneki-neko is sometimes also called the welcoming cat, lucky cat, money cat, happy cat, or fortune cat in English. ~wikipedia

The day after his documentary at Sunshine, I went on an “invasion hunt” to try to find his invader pieces that he’s been systematically spreading throughout, especially, the Lower East Side. Mission accomplished! See it below:

“Anonymous” French urban artist, Invader, made a brief appearance at the free showing of Artspace at Sunshine Cinemas. It’s a 26-minute documentary about him and a team putting a space invader into space. Cool, funny, great night.
