Satoru with Maneki Neko and Daruma

Satoru with Maneki Neko and Daruma


Enlarge		Licensing

This is Satoru Ueda standing at the front counter with several Maneki Neko and Daruma dolls. The Maneki Neko is a good luck charm and the Daruma doll is a wish doll. The Maneki Neko with the left paw raised--as is the case with all the cats in the picture--is thought to bring in customers.
