Description
The maneki-neko is a traditional figurine from Japan dating back several centuries. There are many different stories and beliefs behind the origin of the figure. One such tale is that an impoverushed business owner took in a stray cat at a time when he could barely feed himself. As a way of thanking him, the cat sat in the front of the business waving his paw to beckon customers. With this gesture the cat brought wealth and prosperity to the business owner. Today the maneki-neko figurine is popular many other eastern cultures and can often be found in homes and businesses of Chinese and Vietnamese families.
This artwork is a work of photographic expressionism, created from original photographs taken by the artist using a variety of techniques both in camera and post processing. .
