With a bright yellow ribbon and cute polka dots, this gray maneki neko “lucky cat” is dressed to the nines. Its eyes and whiskers are painted with an artful touch, while its arched back is a characteristic of the Furuseto-style lucky cat figurines. The matte finish and cute, casual design make it easy to enjoy this decoration every day.

The distinctive style of this maneki neko appeared during the late Meiji period (1868–1912 CE) and features a slender, arched back. The maneki neko is a beloved symbol in Japan, believed to bring good fortune. Depending on which paw is raised, the cat’s image has a different meaning: the right paw attracts wealth, while the left invites guests. This Japanese figurine is an ideal decoration for your home’s entrance to give a warm and welcoming first impression to your guests.
