This Maneki-Neko Cat of Japanese Legend is a unique digital piece created by the artist, which showcases an old-school computerized art style, meticulously crafted using "Paint Brush" mouse skills, which was a slow and tedious ink-dot painting process required painstaking effort and great patience, with each dot added individually to create the perfect image for your feng shui and gifting needs. The artwork offers a distinct interpretation of the Japanese Bobtail cat, a symbol of good fortune originating from Japan. This famous feline is depicted in various colors. One of the most popular tales associated with this legend is the story of the Gotokuji Temple. According to the legend, a wealthy Samurai sought shelter under a tree near the temple during a sudden rainstorm. He noticed the temple priest's cat waving its paw strangely in the air, as if beckoning him to seek safer shelter inside. As the Samurai approached this unusual cat to investigate the odd behavior, a lightning bolt struck the tree he had been standing under, whereas his moving saved his life. The cat's gesture was henceforth recognized as a divine symbol of protection. The raised right paw of the Maneki-Neko is believed to attract financial opportunities to believers. This iconic symbol is often prominently displayed in restaurants, Chinatown storefronts, and home collections. The closed eyes of the Maneki-Neko signify good luck in the near future for immediate needs. This artwork, created by the artist as a labor of love, was meticulously hand-dotted on a computer with care and respect, guided by meditation and spiritual inspiration. The result is a unique rendition of the cat adorned with a gold coin on its collar, standing under a fantasy depiction of the Japanese Mimosa tree, symbolizing welcome. May this image bring you success, wealth, good fortune, and longevity.
