From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The maneki-neko (招き猫, lit. 'beckoning cat') is a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. In modern times, they are usually made of ceramic or plastic. The figurine depicts a cat, traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail, with a paw raised in a beckoning gesture. The figurines are often displayed in shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, dry cleaners, laundromats, bars, casinos, hotels, nightclubs, and other businesses, generally near the entrance, as well as households.
Maneki-neko are traditionally depicted seated, holding a koban coin, with one paw raised in a beckoning gesture.
It is a common theory that maneki-neko as figurines originated from Imado ware sold in Asakusa during the Edo period (1603-1868). There are various folklore in Japan about the origin of maneki-neko. You can find more information on the net.
