It makes perfect sense to offer Maneki Neko Cat in the form of a money bank; To accumulate wealth and good fortune!•Maneki neko beckoning cats can be found with either left or right paw raised and sometimes with both hands raised in a "banzai" pose. Originally maneki neko had their left hands raised as Japanese traditionally drank from sake cups with their left hands and poured it with their right hands. To be called a left-hander or "lefty" was to be acknowledged as a drinker and socialite. Thus left hand raised has the meaning of beckoning friends and welcoming good fortune, happiness and harmony.•Soda can placed next to the statue is not included with the listing.
