Highlights of the Tour

Visit the Maneki‑neko series ‑ a popular symbol of good luck in Japan since ancient times

Browse through the collection ‑ some are large wooden pieces, while others are small ceramic figures

Fill in an ema (votive plaque) and hang your wish on the museum's bamboo or on its wall

Use acrylic paint to create your own original design on an unglazed ceramic Maneki‑neko, then take it home

At the Maneki‑neko Museum in Osaka, learn about the Maneki‑neko, considered a traditional Japanese lucky charm! You have seen this curious ceramic cat with its raised paw in almost every shop in Japan and even Hong Kong ‑ at the museum in Kinkazan Temple Village, you will discover its origins, debunk some myths about this symbolic figurine, and visit a collection of about 700 lucky cats gathered from all over Japan. The Maneki‑neko figurine originated in Tokyo (formerly Edo) or Kyoto in the mid‑19th century. View the vast collection and fill in an ema (a paper for writing prayers), or hang your wish on the museum's bamboo or wall. You can even paint your own figurine. Enjoy the museum's serene, temple‑like atmosphere while browsing large wooden cats and small ceramic figurines
