The Maneki-neko (also known as Fortune Cat or Lucky Cat) is an iconic Japanese figurine and lucky charm, believed to bring good fortune to its owner. There are many stories about its origins.
When Lao Ganbu first saw a Fortune Cat, he was struck by its similarity to the rude gesture of ‘giving someone the finger’. The gesture expresses disdain or annoyance, which cats are indeed known for. It is simply a whimsical and humorous take on a cute icon.
