Description

"If you never forget to laugh, good fortune will come to you."
The painting is done on Echizen washi sliding door paper with gold sand.
There are various theories about the origin of the maneki-neko, and each region has its own legend,
but cats are said to exterminate mice that eat crops and silkworms,
so in some areas they were used as talismans for silkworm farming,
and now they have taken root in Japan as the most popular lucky charm.
In recent years, they have also become popular overseas,
where they are known as "welcome cats" and "lucky cats," and their presence is increasing.
