  2. This cat is inviting happiness,
    saying that "Happiness, come come"
    There are tons of Manekinekos produced in Japan but I've never seen this one like printed something on its tummy. Anyway it's very cute :))

  3. thank you for telling me about this little cat. I never knew what they meant and I have seen them all over Japan and here in SF Japantown. I knew he was special but had no idea he was inviting happiness AND customers apparently!!

    "Right leg raise Manekineko" means money(business goes well).
    "Left leg raise Manekineko" means customer(people come).
