It is thought that Maneki Neko became popular in the last part of Edo period around 1800 when Japan was still ruled by the Samurai (Japanese warrior) classes. But we can't confirm the existence of Maneki Neko during that period of time. When the ruling of the Samurai classes ended and Japan was becoming modern around 1870, Maneki Neko began to appear in the documents one after another.
Why should I buy it? Believers of the
Maneki Neko say that it brings luck, the fortune and the customers into
your store. Some believe that it does invite happiness to your home! It works as a kind
of lucky charm ( something like a St. Christopher's charm) in Japan.
