The Maneki-neko, also known as the "beckoning cat," is a common Japanese figurine believed to bring good luck and fortune to its owner. The history of Maneki-neko dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. There are several popular legends about its origins: Gotokuji Temple Legend: One legend states that a poor monk and his cat lived in Gotokuji Temple. One day, a samurai took shelter under a tree near the temple during a storm. He noticed the cat beckoning him inside. As he followed the cat, lightning struck the tree he was previously standing under. Grateful for the cat saving his life, the samurai became a patron of the temple, bringing prosperity. Imado Shrine Legend: Another story involves an old woman from Imado, who was forced to sell her cat due to poverty. The cat appeared in her dream, instructing her to make its image in clay. The old woman followed the dream and sold the figurines, which became very popular and brought her wealth. Meaning: The Maneki-neko is depicted as a cat with one paw raised in a beckoning gesture. Its meaning and symbolism vary depending on the color and which paw is raised: Raised Right Paw: Attracts wealth and good fortune. Raised Left Paw: Attracts customers and is often used in businesses. Both Paws Raised: Offers protection. • Size 40 x 90 x0,4 cm • Speed Type Mousepad Smooth • Bottom Rubber, anti slip • Waterproof material • Deskmat Bag
