Japanese Lucky Cats

The Japanese Lucky Cat is the most popular lucky charm in Japanese culture. Japanese Lucky Cats are traditionally called maneki-neko, which literally translates to beckoning cat; their characteristically upright paw is said to beckon good fortune for their owner.

Our authentic Japanese Lucky Cats are made of ceramic and are hand-painted in a range of beautiful colours. Lucky Cat meanings are diverse and rich in cultural history, and each colour symbolises a different type of good fortune.
