Japanese Lucky Calico Cat, Maneki Neko

Vector illustration of a maneki-neko, literally translated from Japanese as “beckoning cat”. This traditional Japanese figurine is believed to bring luck and prosperity to its owner. They are often called lucky cats as well. This particular one is a cute cartoon version of a Calico Japanese Bobtail with its left paw raised in Japanese beckoning gesture and its right paw holding a gold koban coin. Blooming ume tree and furin glass wind chime make for a simple background.
