The lucky beckoning cat of Japan is known as Maneki Neko. It is a symbol of good luck, and is believed to bring good fortune to its owner. The cat is usually depicted with one paw raised, beckoning good luck and fortune.

Named maneki-neko in Japanese (literally “beckoning cat”), the figurine—true to its name and contrary to popular belief—is not actually waving.
