This Nisho Gogo is a traditional Japanese good luck charm to bring prosperity into your business.
In Asia this is a popular traditional symbol of prosperity, good fortune and protection. The cat’s raised paw will beckon good fortune into your home. In Japan these lucky cats are called Maneki Neko literally meaning beckoning cats.
The Japanese often place these traditional ornaments in a predominant position in their reception area. It signifies their wish for a successful and harmonious company. The raised right arm of the cat indicates to customers a promise of excellence in service.
The ornate wooden box, which the cat sits in, is a traditional measure for sake or rice. This special box is called “masu” and so gives rise to a famous Japanese saying “masu masu hanjo” which means “for a fruitful and prosperous business, or life”.
The cat is in yellow with a bell on the collar.
