Maneki-neko「招き猫」Lucky Cat
In Japan we love Lucky Cats
This iconic lucky cat is a symbol of wealth, success, and good fortune in Japanese culture and brings its wearer joy, peace, and prosperity. The lucky cat (Japanese: 招き猫) is one of the most common talismans in Japan. They usually wear a collar with a bell and a bib around their neck. Some hold a coin called a koban, which represents great wealth. The lucky cats are modeled after the Japanese stump-tailed cat.
