MANEKI NEKO
A truly exquisite and luxurious work of art!
For hundreds of years, the Maneki Neko, also known as the Fortune Cat or the Beckoning Cat, has been an exceptionally well recognizable talisman in Asian households. The pretty adorable cat is considered to be a powerful feng shui symbol for good luck and prosperity.
However, the story of the Maneki Neko goes deeper than just 'fortune'. The Japanese legend has it that during the Edo period, a feudal lord was rescued from getting struck by lightning thanks to the beckoning of a special cat. Therefore, the Maneki Neko is also intrinsically linked with 'fate' and 'protection'.
More often than not, the layers of its spiritual and feng shui meaning get lost when the figure of Maneki Neko travels across Asia. In order to fully showcase the charm, prosperity, and the protection from the Fortune Cat, La Sonmai's group of artisans take into consideration various versions of the Maneki Neko for reference.
We choose the hot and vibrant colors as the main theme, as well as the symbol of the Sun to emphasize every aspect of the Maneki Neko's feng shui meaning. With that in mind, La Sonmai wishes to deliver our sincere regards to our customers through this powerful feng shui symbol.
