Description
[Craftsman House #70] In the first place, why did it come to be that when a cat beckons, good fortune comes? There is a passage in the Chinese Tang Dynasty classic [Yu-yang zakaba] (established around A.D. 860), which describes mysterious anomalies, customs, and miscellaneous matters related to animals and plants. Wash a cat's face, and if it passes your ears, it will be a guest. It is a popular belief that if a cat washes its face and its hands go over its ears, it will attract guests. The reason for this belief is unknown. Perhaps the cat's movements looked like it was beckoning to the customer. The original benefit of the beckoning cat was [to invite people]. Not only for the customer business, but also visitors were important karma that brought something to the house. If a cat washes its face, customers will come, and if there are visitors, they will bring good fortune. This is the origin of the beckoning cat. There is no set format for the beckoning cat, which is arranged in various ways throughout the country today. In the history of beckoning cats since the Edo period (1603-1868), it has been said that the shape and pattern of beckoning cats have various meanings. Kaneso Shoten offers a wide variety of beckoning cats for your enjoyment. |
