Do you know Maneki Neko?


When I walk through the streets of Fukuoka I always recognize that sweet beckoning little cats in front of shops or restaurants. These cats are called "Maneki Neko" and they are a common Japanese sculpture. Maneki Neko promises luck and lots of customers by holding up the left palm. Holding up the right palm symbolizes prosperity and money. I really need a cat beckoning by left and right palm^^
