The one which sits and has it’s front paw raised as if it is calling for someone is the only one that can be called a ” Maneki neko”.It just sits in your house or in your store. But it does bring the luck, the fortune and the customers into your store. It does invite the happiness to your home!
Hachimaki
Japanese Hachimaki (headbands) are thin cotton strips tied around the forehead. It is the symbol of one’s dedication to the hard work necessary to train correctly. The meaning of the hachimaki is akin to the western gesture of rolling up the sleeves: it symbolises the seriousness of getting down to business.
