Many differing lives, and many differing “Maneki Nekos.” A collection of colourfully individualistic cats of good fortune like these seems likely to make every wish come true. The plump face and chubby body, along with eyes, which are larger than its big bell, and even its fat and likeable form, are a delight to see. Embedded is not only crepe silk, but also materials not commonly used for Kimekomi dolls such as printed textiles, leather and suede. It seems to be beckoning good fortune for just about anything, whether its money, romance, fashion or even a competition. The right cat can be selected from a wide assortment according to the wish or even to match the interior. Because each Maneki Neko is a mere 10 centimetres tall, they can even be displayed collectively. And of course, they are ideal as gifts for wishing good fortune to friends and family.
