Daruma dolls have long been popular as talismans and lucky charms for the spirit of rising after falling down seven times. The beckoning cat in the shape of a daruma doll brings even more good fortune. This lucky piggy bank is said to bring good fortune by borrowing the power of the daruma doll, even if you don't raise your hand.

■About Yakushi Kiln's Maneki-neko
CHUGAI TOEN, a ceramics studio in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, a city with a history of over 1,000 years of pottery. Its name comes from the fact that a shrine to Yakushi Nyorai (Healing Buddha) was located where the company was founded. It's generally believed that a maneki-neko cat's right paw beckons money, its left paw beckons many people, and both hands beckon both. However, regardless of whether it's right-handed or left-handed, all Yakushi Kiln maneki-neko are beloved for their protection of Yakushi Nyorai (Healing Buddha) and their ability to bring good health and longevity. Each and every one of these warm-hearted maneki-neko cats is lovingly handcrafted by artisans under the supervision of the Maneki-neko Museum.
