Everything you need to know about the Maneki Neko
What is the Maneki Neko?
The Maneki Neko, or “beckoning cat,” is a popular Japanese figurine. Originating from Japan, it usually depicts a Japanese Bobtail cat with one paw raised in an inviting gesture. It is believed to bring various forms of luck depending on its color and the paw it raises.
What is the legend of the Maneki Neko?
Maneki Neko originated in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1867). Legend tells of a cat that saved a samurai from lightning by beckoning him into a temple. The grateful samurai became the temple's patron, inspiring the creation of these lucky cat figurines.
What do the different colors of Maneki Neko mean?
- White: Purity and happiness.
- Black: Protection from evil spirits.
- Red: Protection against illness.
- Gold: Wealth and prosperity.
- Pink: Success in love and relationships.
- Green: Academic and work success.
Where should I place my Maneki Neko for best luck?
Place your Maneki Neko facing the entrance of your home or business to welcome good fortune. Popular spots include near the front door, on a mantel, desk, or cash register. Avoid bathrooms or cluttered areas.
Can the Maneki Neko bring bad luck?
While Maneki Neko are meant to attract good luck, traditional beliefs suggest that incorrect placement (such as facing away from the entrance) or raising both paws can be viewed by some as inviting bad fortune or being ineffective.
Is it appropriate to give a Maneki Neko as a gift?
Yes! Maneki Neko makes wonderful gifts for housewarmings, business openings, graduations, or any occasion where you want to wish someone good fortune. They're especially meaningful for new ventures or life transitions.
