Give a wave to Sachiyo Ishii's cute cat decoration

These popular figures are believed to bring good fortune, wealth, love, and health depending on their pose and colour. Designed by Sachiyo Ishii our maneki neko is coloured like a calico cat (tri-colour) which is said to be the luckiest paw-waving feline of all. It has its left paw raised, inviting people inside with a welcome. When the right paw is up, the cat is inviting good fortune for the owner.
