Six little cats, six different wishes
A set of six tiny Maneki-neko (Japanese lucky cats), each with its own expression, words, and wish.
All six cats raise both paws, as if beckoning with both hands for every kind of good fortune to come your way.
They sit on small red cushions. In Japan, red is traditionally associated with protection and is also believed to help keep misfortune away.
Each cat has a different message, so you can display all six together or choose one as a small gift for someone special.
◆ Six Cats, Six Wishes
A. 開運・千客万来 – Good Fortune & Many Customers
A lucky cat holding a gold coin marked 開運 (kaiun), meaning good fortune, together with 千客万来 (senkyaku banrai) – “many customers coming.”
A lovely little symbol for shop owners, business owners, and anyone starting a new venture.
B. 笑う門には福来たる – Happiness Comes to a Smiling Home
This cat carries the Japanese saying 笑う門には福来たる (Warau kado ni wa fuku kitaru) – “Fortune comes to a home where people smile.”
A reminder to keep smiling and let happiness find its way in.
C. 一石二鳥 – Two Birds with One Stone
A playful cat decorated with a Daruma illustration and the saying 一石二鳥 (isseki nichō) – “one stone, two birds.”
A Japanese expression for achieving two things with one action.
D. しょうふく – Inviting Good Fortune
This cat has しょうふく (shōfuku) written in hiragana, meaning 招福 – inviting good fortune.
A little lucky cat simply wishing to bring more 福 (fuku), or good fortune, into your life.
E. 愛・成就 – Love Fulfilled
A sweet pink cat with a cute, carefully made-up face, carrying the words 愛・成就 (ai jōju) – “love fulfilled.”
A charming little gift for someone wishing for love and a happy relationship.
F. めでたい – A Celebration!
A cheerful cat decorated with a sea bream (鯛) and the word めでたい (medetai).
In Japanese, medetai means something is auspicious, happy, or worthy of celebration. The sea bream is especially associated with celebrations because its name, tai, sounds like medetai.
A little cat carrying wishes for joy, celebration, and good news.
◆ Display Them Together or Give Them as Gifts
