When you go to souvenir shops, various beckoning cats
You can see it.
If you look closely, you can see the rising hand (front leg?) But
It's the right hand or the left hand.
It seems to have a meaning.
The right hand invites money.
The left hand invites people.
In both hands, both money luck and a thousand customers who invite people
It is said that there is a great deal.
And the higher the hand you raise, the more you invite the distant fortune.
Nihonbashi has been famous as a "Prayer for lost cats" since the Edo period.
There are many beckoning cats at the shrine as a thank you for fulfilling your wish.
I have it.
Beckoning cats have been loved by many Japanese since ancient times.
I hear that it is becoming more popular overseas.
You are still alive even in the year of the dog.
