Nike-Neko was born from the desire to wear my beloved cat on my person, but was unable to do so.
Based on the concept of "a cat that you can always be with,"
Although it has a story and is adorable,
This is a brand that values designs and materials that can be worn by adults for a long time.
A cat that makes you smile when you see it. A cat that relaxes your heart.
We will deliver a cat that will be by your side.
I want people who wear or carry it to be happy and healthy.
When I met people who cat lover,
We hope that nike-neko's cats will be a catalyst for people to laugh from the heart.
We always create and send out our products with this in mind.
Designer's profile
[Mother cat Ogata Hiroki]
Hiroki Ogata started drawing before he entered kindergarten.
During junior high school, after learning to draw realistic pictures of objects,
When I was in high school, I started writing down the ideals I had in my head.
Instead of going to art school or art college,
I went to a music college and experienced the excitement of creating something intangible.
He wrote lyrics, composed songs, and then joined an agency, at which point his musical career ended.
During his time as a musician, he also carved guitars and painted pictures.
Rather than practicing, it's just returning to basics and doing what I love.
I draw pictures as birthday presents for my friends,
I started carving wood and then decided to try my hand at making accessories.
At the home of a fellow musician who was attending a school of engraving, he learned how to use tools and foundries.
My friend's mother loves cats, so she taught me about them.
And to have the mother see it,
Nike-Neko started when I made five rings that I could wear myself.
A story from around 2010...
It is also possible to produce an original one-of-a-kind item.
If you have a design idea, production will be quicker and cheaper.
We hope you will continue to patronize us.
