Smooth Fine Art Paper - Museum Grade 230gsm 9mil Print of “Sleepy Maneki”

Gohtokuji Temple is located in Tokyo, believed to be the origin of the Maneki Cat. The legend goes that a feudal lord was caught in a rain storm and the buddhist monk’s cat beckoned for the feudal lord to come take shelter at the temple. The next harvest season, the feudal lord had a bountiful crop and success was brought to the area. The maneki cat is now a symbol of good fortune for businesses and many people purchase a maneki from the temple and place it at the shrine located on temple grounds for the cat.
