The Maneki Neko Feng Shui DX series by Kakinuma Dolls combines traditional Japanese artistry with meaningful color symbolism rooted in Feng Shui beliefs. Handcrafted in Saitama Prefecture using the Edo Kimekomi doll-making technique, each beckoning cat features a smooth, fabric-covered resin body, intricate fabric patchwork, and hand-set rhinestones that add a subtle sparkle above the eyes.
The Maneki Neko (beckoning cat) is one of Japan’s most recognized symbols of luck and prosperity. With its raised paw, it is believed to invite fortune, attract customers, and protect against misfortune. These cats are often placed in homes, businesses, and shops to draw in success and positive energy.
Each color variation carries its own specific meaning:
- White: Honesty, gentleness, and general good fortune.
- Yellow: Financial luck, wealth attraction, and cheerful energy.
- Black: Wards off bad luck and protects against evil spirits.
- Red: Promotes health, wards off illness, and offers protection.
The figurine’s lifelike, friendly expression is accented by a tiger’s-eye-style bell charm at the neck, enhancing its auspicious character. Each cat comes with a small display cushion, making it ready for gifting or placement. Its compact size allows it to fit neatly into shelves, desks, counters, or personal altars.
