Maneki Neko

It is commonly believed that the Maneki Neko became popular in the latter half of the Edo Period (1603 - 1867). The Maneki Neko (literally "beckoning cat") is one of the most common lucky charms in Japan. Found frequently in shop windows, the Maneki Neko sits with its paw raised and bent, as if beckoning customers to enter. Another matter of interest -- in Buddhist teachings, the body of the cat can sometimes become the temporary resting place of the soul of very spiritual people. There are many famous cat legends about Japanese cats mostly about their bringing good luck of protection. I like cats. When I watch cats, their gesture or expression make us warm our hearts.
