Japanese Lucky Calico Cat Maneki Neko Folk Art Poster

Decorate your walls in style with this unique, colourful folk art poster! The Japanese Maneki Neko, or Beckoning Cat, widely popular in Japan, is believed to bring abundance to its owner. It is often used in feng shui, is made in a wide variety of styles and colours, and is often displayed in Japanese places of business. The most common belief is that if the cat's left paw is raised, it attracts helpful people, customers and business, and if the right paw is raised, it attracts good luck and wealth. If both paws are raised, it attracts both. In this uplifting, whimsical artwork, this lovely Japanese bobtail calico Maneki Neko has her left paw raised to attract customers, helpful people, and business into the life of its lucky owner. She holds a gold coin, modelled after ancient Japanese high-value coins, which bears the Japanese characters for something like "a thousand gold coins," which basically signifies "great abundance." She is surrounded by a red border featuring gold and silver coin shapes matching those on her collar.
