Product Description
Kutani lucky cat(manekineko) with a cherry blossom design and a raised right hand. A lucky cat (manekineko) with its right hand raised is considered a good luck charm that brings "money luck".
The lucky cat is mainly used as a good luck charm to wish for business prosperity and success. Since the Edo period (1603-1868), lucky cats have been displayed in shops and stores. The custom of placing lucky cats on storefronts took root in the hope that they would attract many customers and bring prosperity to the business.
The beckoning gesture of the beckoning cat, with its characteristic paws waving up and down, is meant to attract customers and was considered an appropriate good luck charm to wish for a prosperous business.
It is also very popular as a decorative item because of its cute appearance and round eyes, and placing it on the dining table makes it a soothing and comfortable time.
