Description

This manekineko has a slit in the back of its head, possibly for a bank. The cat is white with black and orange spots and glitter around its red collar, on which hangs a bell. In its right paw, the manekineko is holding a gold coin with the words "Senman Ryō" (Ten Million Gold Coins), alluding to its power in bringing good fortune and business to the owner. Its left paw is raised in the traditional beckoning gesture.
