Bring cheerful energy and continuous good fortune into your home or shop with this electric Maneki Neko from Yakushigama. The right paw waves on a small, quiet motor — no winding, no setup beyond two batteries — while the cat holds the 来福 fortune plaque in its other paw.

Why the right paw

In Maneki Neko tradition, the right paw raised invites money; the left paw invites customers. This Yakushigama variant is the right-paw "money" cat — a deliberate choice for shop counters, registers, home offices, and prosperity-themed display corners.

Workshop & tradition

Yakushigama is a kiln operated by Chuugai Toen in Seto City, Aichi — one of Japan's "Six Ancient Kilns." The saie (彩絵 multi-color overglaze) line is one of the kiln's signature decorations. The "金運大来福" name layers two of Japan's strongest good-luck phrases onto the cat: 金運 ("money fortune") and 大来福 ("great-coming fortune") — the 来福 character is also visible on the small fortune plaque the cat holds in its other paw.

Use cases

  • Shop counter, café register, restaurant entrance — the moving paw keeps the cat "working" all day
  • Home office, study, prosperity-themed display shelf
  • Traditional gift for shop openings, new business launches, anniversaries, housewarmings, retirement gifts, and cat-loving collectors

FAQ

Right paw vs left paw? Right paw invites money; left paw invites customers. This is the right-paw "money" version.

Are batteries included? No — please supply your own. The battery compartment is in the base; check the cat's battery requirement label before purchasing.

How quiet is the motor? The motor is small and quiet — designed for retail and home environments. The motion is a smooth side-to-side wave, not a click.
