About Maneki Neko

The Maneki Neko, or Japanese lucky cat, is one of Japan’s most recognizable symbols of good fortune. With its distinctive raised paw, it is traditionally believed to welcome luck, prosperity, and people into homes and businesses.

More than a charming ornament, Maneki Neko reflects a long tradition of Japanese culture and craftsmanship. Its raised paw, color, patterns, and decorations can each carry different meanings and wishes.

Today, Maneki Neko are created in many styles throughout Japan, including beautifully decorated Kutani Ware Maneki Neko, known for their vibrant colors, intricate designs, and elegant gold accents.
