A Lucky Cat for a lucky life

Designed to bring good fortune, modern sensibility blends with a symbol of ancient Japanese culture to produce the Japanese lucky cat. Also known as the Maneki Neko or beckoning cat, this black or white version of the traditional lucky cat with its right paw raised ensures every little wish is covered, be it in your private or business life. Individually handmade in the traditional way by a professional artisan in Takasaki City using recycled paper (papier mache), the eco-friendly Designer's Neko has been created to suit stylish, modern home or office interiors. The plain white one is finished using a pigment made of crushed shells, while both the black and white versions are decorated with the Japanese character for 'happiness' on the front, and the Italian proverb meaning, 'happiness is realizing the value of the small things,' on the back.
A Japanese character meaning “happiness” is formed with "+-=-+".
All the detailing, whiskers, tail, etc., is drawn by hand meaning that shades of color and designs vary slightly and that each one has a unique facial expression.

Perfect to place on a desk or nightstand, this stylish version of the Japanese good luck cat makes a great gift for all ages and any occasion.
