The Fushimi kilns of #Kyoto began crafting distinctive #manekineko during the early Meiji period. By the middle of the Meiji period, their #cats became more sophisticated; the naturalistically rendered, seated cats faced directly forward with either paw raised. #beckoningcats

Sometime during the late Meji period, the Seto kilns began producing maneki neko. By the Taisho period, they evolved into much more elaborate forms, modeled after Japanese bobtail #cats with highly decorative bibs. #BeckoningCats

Expertly carved, these two cats are holding up two different paws. If the cat holds up its left paw, it is to bring luck and good fortune to a business; it holds up its right paw to invite good fortune, health, and happiness into the home. #BeckoningCats
