Description
| Seto ware has a history of 1,300 years. The beckoning cat has long been used as a good-luck charm that brings prosperity in business, happiness in the family, and the arrival of many customers. [Meaning of Red Cat] The red cat is prized as a symbol to ward off illness, and is also popular as a prayer for longevity. [Manekineko with raised right hand] A beckoning cat with its right hand raised is a cat that invites good fortune. The word "blessing" here mainly refers to luck in money. This beckoning cat is perfect for people who wish to increase their money and luck. [Meaning of the length of the upraised hand] There is also a difference in the height of the raised hand. The hands that are raised above the ears are called "long hands" and those that are raised modestly below the ears are called "short hands." It is believed that the longer the hands are extended, the more distant and bigger blessings are invited, and the shorter the hands are, the more familiar and small happiness is invited. [Meaning of the items they carry]. The image of a beckoning cat is that of holding a koban, but early beckoning cats did not have kobans, and most had a bell hanging from their collars. It is said that this bell gradually changed to a koban. The koban is painted with an amount of money and auspicious words such as "kaiun" (good luck) and "sho-fuku" (good fortune), directly reflecting the wish that was put into the beckoning cat. It is interesting to note that the amount of money depicted on the koban has increased over time from [senryo] [ten thousand ryo] [ten thousand ryo] to [billion ryo]. The more modest the amount, the older the koban is considered to be, basically. Where do you put it, east, west, south, north, south, east? z The basic place to place a beckoning cat is in front of a store if it is a store, or at the front door if it is a home. This is the place where you can invite good fortune and luck to come to you. If you place it at home, you can also place it in the living room or some other place where the family can see it often. |

招き猫は商売繁盛・家内円満・千客万来をもたらす縁起物として永く愛用されています。
<赤い猫の意味>
赤い猫は、病気封じの象徴として珍重されるとともに、長寿祈願として親しまれています。
＜右手を上げている招き猫＞
右手を上げている招き猫は、「福を招く」猫。ここでいう「福」とは、主に金運のことです。金運アップや、運気上昇を願う人にぴったりの招き猫です。
<あげてる手の長さの意味>
また、上げている手の高さにも違いがある。耳よりも上まで手が上がっているものを「手長」、耳よりも下に控えめに手を上げているものを「手短」と呼び、手が長く伸びているほど遠くの福や大きな福を招き、短いものは身近な福やささやかな幸せを招くとされている。
<持ち物が表す意味>
招き猫といえば小判を持っているイメージだが、初期の招き猫には小判はなく、首輪に鈴をぶら下げた姿がほとんどだった。この鈴が次第に小判へと変わっていったといわれている。小判には金額や「開運」「招福」といった縁起のよい言葉が描かれており、招き猫に込めた願いがダイレクトに反映されている。面白いのが、小判に描かれた金額が時代とともに「千両」「万両」から「億万両」にまで跳ね上がっていくところだ。控えめな金額であるほど、基本的には古いものと考えられる。
〇東西南北、どこに置く？〇
招き猫を置く場所の基本は、お店なら店先、自宅なら玄関。外にいる福や運をおいでおいでと招くことができる場所です。また、自宅に置く場合はリビングなど、家族がよく目にする場所に置くのもOK。＃日本製＃瀬戸焼
