🐾Did you know the story behind these cat statues? 🐈 Follow @springstate - 📷 credit 🐺 #Maneki-Neko (Japanese: 招き猫, literally “beckoning cat”) The Maneki-Neko is a #talisman believed to bring #goodluck to the owner. It’s also known as the #WelcomingCat #LuckyCat #MoneyCat, #HappyCat or #FortuneCat 😽 However, no one knows (or agrees) on how the first Maneki-Neko came to be… There are many legends about Maneki-Neko, but these 3 are the most common: 😼 The Temple A #wealthy man took shelter from a rainstorm under a tree next to a temple. At that moment, he noticed a cat and that cat seemed to be beckoning to him. He followed him and went inside the temple. Shortly after, lightning struck the tree which he had been taking shelter under. Because the #cat had saved his life, the man was grateful. He became a #benefactor of the temple and brought it much prosperity. When he passed away, a statue of the cat was made by the people of the temple in his #honor 😺 The Geisha A geisha had a pet cat, which she adored. One day, the cat was hanging at her #kimono and the owner of the brothel thought the cat was possessed. In response, he sliced off its head with a sword (brutal!). The flying cathead landed on a snake (which was about to strike the woman). The fangs of the cat killed the snake and saved the woman. The geisha ended up so distraught by the loss of her cat that one of her customers made a statue of the cat to cheer her up. 👵 The Old Woman An old woman, living in Imado in eastern Tokyo, was forced to sell her cat due to extreme poverty. Soon afterwards, the cat appeared to her in a dream. The cat told her to make a resembling statue of the cat in clay. She did as instructed and decided to sell the statue. She made more and more of them and everyone bought the statues. These “Maneki-nek”o became so popular, she soon became very rich of it. 🔊 See the comments for the meanings behind the different cats! 📡 Article credit #poopycat follow @poopycatofficial (at Little Tokyo, Los Angeles)
