The Beckoning Cat





This picture was taken when I was having lunch in a Japanese restaurant with my cousin. In Japanese, its name is maneki neko which means beckoning cat. It is a common Japanese figurines that is believed to bring a good luck to the owner. It was usually made from ceramic or plastic. It was also called as the welcoming cat, lucky cat, money cat, happy cat, beckoning cat or fortune cat. I wonder what was the story behind this beckoning cat.
