The Japanese Lucky Cat is the most popular lucky charm in Japanese culture. Japanese Lucky Cats are traditionally called Maneki Neko which literally translates to beckoning cat. This explains their characteristically upright paw as beckoning good fortune for their owner. Our authentic Japanese Lucky Cats are made of ceramic and hand-painted in a range of beautiful colours which symbolise the specific luck they are believed to convey.
The kanji characters in the red box on the left means good luck and the characters in on the right mean good luck charm making it an ideal gift for cat lovers!
