Printed pattern:
Lucky cat (Maneki-Neko) is the symbol for prosperity. The right hand raising cat is the symbol of the money fortune and the left hand raising cat is the symbol of lots of guests. There is no lucky cat that raises both hands, as there is a saying “If you chase two rabbits, you won't catch either." Lucky cat figures are widely seen in Japan at restaurants and shops.
The lucky cat in this Noren holds a very large coin (10 million money) in the right hand and wears necklace of lucky symbol.
