Description

A symbol for prosperity, Fortune in Business and General Good Luck; the Lucky Cat can be traced back to the Edo Period (1608-1868)150 years; however,  legends say the cat is much older.

He can be traced from Japan to Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Thailand and then he begins to race around the globe.

Many Japanese business people wouldn’t think of having a restaurant, store, bar, etc. without the presence of a beckoning cat. Maneki Neko’s always have at least one raised forepaw but otherwise they can take many forms. A white cat wearing a bib and a bell are typical sights in Chinese restaurants in this country. The cat is waving to us, asking us to come into the shop or asking good fortune to visit the establishment.

A Beckoning Cat makes a great gift for any office or store to attract customers or in your place of business or house to attract good fortune. Placed near the front door of a store, it is said to attract new patrons. At home, you can put you Maneki Neko anywhere you want to attract good luck
