Here's a golden Maneki-neko. The Maneki-neko or lucky/beckoning cat is a mythical cat and cultural icon of Japan that helps bring in prosperity, good luck and fortune depending on which paw the cat is holding up either left, right or both. The higher the paw is raised, the greater the power it’s believed to hold. Some modern versions even wave with solar-powered arms!
If you ever find yourself in Japan, visiting Gōtoku-ji or Tokoname is like stepping into a feline fairy tale.
