I. What is a Maneki Neko?

A Maneki Neko goes by several different names in English. It is also known as the following: Welcoming Cat, Lucky Cat, Money Cat, or Fortune Cat. It is a traditional Japanese sculpture that is supposed to bring good luck. A raised right paw brings money/fortune, while a raised left paw brings people/customers. They are often used as piggy banks.

II. Why would I want this particular Maneki Neko?

It is exceptionally cute and well-made. The closed eyes and cherubic figure give it a very alluring expression. The symbols on its chest along with the two square talismans of red, black, and white give it a mystical quality. It is also an authentic Maneki Neko, having been made in Japan. This design also comes in other colors. White Ceramic Maneki Neko Lucky Cat #KT6-C is one such variant.

III. Is there anything else I should know before buying this?

This Maneki Neko is a ceramic piggy bank, though it makes a great display item. It is very light, so it may be easily damaged from rough treatment. The talismans (squares of red, black, and white symbols) are actually stickers. The bottom of the sculpture has felt on it to protect it from being scratched. Don't be fooled though. This Maneki Neko is superb!

I thought these cats were so cute I bought three different colors. They were packaged very well and came in perfect shape. An excellent gift item for someone who likes cats and someone who collects Meneki Neko cats.

I was expecting this to be a little bigger but it's really small. It's cute and I like it but it does not bring any good luck. If anything the opposite has happened since displaying it. Lost 2 clients and have had a terrible new neighbor move in. I'm giving it away.
