The beckoning cat is one of the lucky charms that originated in Japan and has been popular since ancient times.
It is said that a cat raising its left hand will bring prosperity in business, and a cat raising its right hand will bring good luck with money.
In addition, black cats are said to have good night vision, and are considered lucky cats to ward off evil spirits and symbolize good luck, so the black beckoning cat has the meaning of ``warding off evil spirits.''
