ManekiNeko
Manekineko: The Lucky Beckoning Cat
Manekineko, or the Beckoning Cat, is a beloved symbol of good luck and prosperity in Japanese culture. These charming figurines can be found in many Japanese homes, businesses, and shops, where they are believed to bring good fortune and prosperity to their owners.
The origins of the Manekineko can be traced back to the Edo period in Japan, when a wealthy merchant took in a stray cat that he believed had brought him good fortune. The cat would sit outside his shop and beckon customers in with its paw. The merchant was so grateful for the cat's help that he commissioned a statue of it, which became known as the Manekineko.
The Manekineko is often depicted with one paw raised, beckoning customers or wealth into a shop or home. The color and design of the figurine can also have different meanings, such as gold for wealth, white for good luck, or black for protection from evil spirits.
At our online shop, we offer a wide variety of Manekineko figurines, each one handcrafted in Japan with care and attention to detail. Whether you're looking for a traditional Manekineko to bring wealth and prosperity to your home or business, or a cute and colorful cat figurine to add to your collection, we have the perfect one for you.

Daruma
A Daruma doll is a traditional Japanese doll that is often seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck. The doll is named after Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk who founded Zen Buddhism in China and is said to have spent nine years meditating in a cave, during which time his legs and arms became so weak that they fell off. The Daruma doll is often depicted without arms or legs in reference to this legend.
The Daruma doll is typically made of papier-mache and has a rounded shape, with a wide, open-eyed face and a beard or mustache. The eyes are left blank when the doll is first made, and the recipient is meant to fill in one eye when they set a goal or make a wish, and then fill in the other eye when the goal or wish is achieved. The doll is then often returned to a temple or shrine, where it is burned in a special ceremony to symbolize the completion of the goal or wish.
