Japanese Lucky Cat Maneki Neko Folk Art Poster

Decorate your walls in style with this unique, colourful small 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, traditional Japanese bobtail calico Maneki Neko has her right paw raised to attract good luck and wealth to her lucky owner. She holds a gold coin, modelled after ancient Japanese high-value coins, which bears Japanese characters related to great fortune and abundance. She sits against a golden background edged with red on the top and bottom to match her collar.
