doormat

Abstract

This item is a rectangular mat used as a floor covering in an entrance hall, and its design is based on the pattern applied to its surface. In Feng Shui, yellow is considered the most auspicious color for an entrance hall, and when implementing this, for example, the base color of this design's entrance hall mat is colored yellow or golden yellow, and the mat surface is characterized by a popular lucky cat (maneki-neko) design. When implementing the color scheme of the maneki-neko in this design, for example, colors including the white, black, and brown found in calico cats are used. The oval shape held in one of the maneki-neko's paws is a stylized representation of the large gold coins that are attached to maneki-neko, and constitutes part of the decorative elements of this design. The maneki-neko's form is such that the other paw is raised while the oval shape in the other paw is raised. This design symbolizes good fortune and prosperity brought by the maneki-neko, and the entrance hall mat is intended to be a lucky charm that enhances financial luck and good fortune when placed in the entrance hall.
