Ishizuka Glass's subsidiary, Adelia Co., Ltd., is launching a new series of glass chopstick rests featuring the auspicious Maneki Neko (beckoning cat) on April 10, 2026, perfect as a lucky charm or gift.

Adelia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Akito Machino), a consolidated subsidiary of Ishizuka Glass Co., Ltd., which manufactures and sells glass products, will launch the "Medetamono Maneki Neko Chopstick Rest" on Friday, April 10, 2026. This glass tableware series features auspicious beckoning cats, lovingly depicted, making them perfect gifts.

The "Medetamono" series captures "Engimono" (auspicious items), which have long been believed to possess mysterious powers to bring happiness, onto glass tableware for everyday enjoyment. They can be enjoyed as gifts to wish happiness for loved ones or as personal lucky charms. Among these, the Maneki Neko is particularly cherished as a symbol that invites people and good fortune. This chopstick rest is the second installment, following the popular "Maneki Neko" patterned small plates. Its slightly larger size provides stability, making it easy for daily use. A unique charm is how the pattern appears to gently waver through the thickness of the glass, and the cat's expression changes depending on the viewing angle. With a lineup of five designs featuring popular cat breeds, the joy of choosing is expanded. Packaged in a modern Japanese paper-style gift box, it is also ideal for gifting.
