[edit] It beckons (sort of) like a Portuguese!
To Americans and Europeans it may seem as if the Maneki Neko is waving rather than beckoning. Over here in Portugal we use both forms of beckoning - the "Euro/American" fingers-up is slightly more authoritative, and the "Asian" fingers-down is more familiar and playful. -- Tintazul 10:44, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] On exchange rate
So if a Maneki Neko's koban is worth 10 million ryō, and a ryō is $1000, the coin is worth roughly $10 Billion. Is there maybe some mistake here?... Odedee 04:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jiseiin cat temple
