These are some of the Meneki Neko we have in our collection - aren't they pretty?
While shopping at the flea market near our office, we saw a stall which sold lucky cats called “Maneki Neko”, the Beckoning Cat. They are Japanese sculptures, often made of porcelain or ceramic. Some are made of cloth. It is believed to bring good luck, wealth, health, love, happiness and success to the owner. The Maneki Neko comes in different colors and styles. Each has its own specific attribute.
We would love to get all those good things in our lives, so we buy one after another. Now we have a nice collection of Maneki Neko and are expecting all those things to come knocking on our doors!!
