This product is well made and the finish is nice. However, it's smaller than I expected (although accurate to the measurements). The bottom plug (which you often see as some sort of plastic stopper) is glued-on felt. This would make it difficult to frequently open to take out change. It's very light as well.

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. Happy Cat, Maneki Neko Blk 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!

This little good luck kitty bank is not only absolutely adorable but...is well crafted and with it's sealed bottom it makes it more difficult for my daughter to take money from it as she her attempts to build a savings.
