What is a beckoning cat?
When people hear the word "beckoning cat," what catches their eye is a select few white cat figurines.
Furthermore, once you learn more about its origin and meaning, you will surely feel even more attached to it.
Did it originate in the Edo period?
There are various theories about the origin of the beckoning cat, but the most famous one is the story of time.
According to a story told at Gotokuji Temple in Setagaya, Tokyo, a samurai was passing by the temple when he saw a cat raising its front paw as if beckoning him.
Curious, he entered the temple and was surprised by a sudden thunderstorm, which saved his life.
It is said that after that, samurai began to make financial donations to temples and worship cats, which is how the "beckoning cat" began.
Left hand? Right hand? Colors have meaning too!
The meaning of a beckoning cat varies depending on which hand is raised.
• The cat that lists its rights: determines your financial fortune
Cat with left hand raised: indicates a person (customer)
The colors also have meaning.
