Questions About Japanese Sleeping Cat
  • What is the story behind the Japanese cat?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The story behind the Japanese cat traces back to ancient folklore. In the tale, a cat saves the life of a samurai who turns out to be quite wealthy. To show his thanks, the man made a very generous donation to the temple. In Japanese culture, cat sculptures and figurines are symbols of good luck and known as “maneki-neko.” Find a range of Japanese decorative objects on 1stDibs.
