No,38014 Kawaii Japanese welcome cat puzzle erasers made by Iwako are your eraser
buddies, eco-friendly take-apart puzzle erasers designed and made in Japan. The Maneki Neko 招き猫?, literally "Beckoning Cat";
also known as Welcoming Cat, Lucky Cat, Money cat, or Fortune Cat
is a common Japanese sculpture, which is believed to bring good luck to the owner. The sculpture depicts a cat (traditionally a Japanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed—many times at the entrance—in shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. In the design of the sculptures, a raised left paw supposedly attracts money, while a raised
right paw protects it. |
