The maneki-neko is a standard Japanese figurine often believed to bring good luck to the owner. They are typically depicted seated and holding a koban coin, an oval gold coin from Japan’s Edo period. The cat beckons you by holding up the hand, palm down, and repeatedly folding the fingers down and back. Different colored cats signify different types of good fortune the owner is trying to obtain. The white cat is happiness, the pink is love, and the blue is knowledge.
