Maneki Neko and Feng Shui: a decorative association
The Maneki Neko is a Japanese object, while Feng Shui is a Chinese approach to space arrangement. Even if they don't come from exactly the same tradition, many people like to associate them in symbolic decor.
The idea is simple: to create a harmonious, welcoming, and pleasant living space.
Where to place a Maneki Neko in a house?
In a house, the Maneki Neko can be placed near the entrance, in the living room, on a shelf, or in an office.
The entrance is particularly interesting because it symbolizes welcome. The living room allows it to be highlighted in a living space. The office is well suited for projects and concentration.
In a store
In a store, the Maneki Neko is often placed near the cash register, on a counter, or in a display window.
It can give an impression of welcome and create a memorable decorative detail for customers.
Which color to choose?
- Gold: symbolic prosperity.

- Green: growth.
- Blue: calm.

Above all, choose a color that matches your decor and the desired atmosphere.
Mistakes to avoid
Avoid placing your Maneki Neko in a hidden, dusty, unstable, or too dark place. For a solar model, prefer a bright area.
