The Yakushigama Daruma Maneki-neko is a unique blend of traditional symbols, shaped like a gourd yet inspired by the spirit of the Daruma, known for its message of perseverance: "fall down seven times, get up eight." With its small raised paws, it exudes encouragement and makes for a meaningful gift, perfect for wishing success in exams or other endeavors.
Generally, it is said that the right hand raised of a maneki-neko invites "money," the left hand raised "many people," and both hands raised "both."
