Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Zazu" from the Tang Dynasty states: "When a cat washes its face over its ears, guests will arrive." The "I Ching" (Book of Changes) says: "A black cat, placed at the southern gate, can ward off evil." The black cat, or "Xuan Mao," is considered an emblem for dispelling evil and misfortune. Because black cats are associated with warding off the negative, predicting and avoiding danger becomes possible. In ancient China, buildings were often oriented south for optimal light and wind protection. Placing a black cat at the southern gate served the function of protecting the household. **Postcard Specifications** Content: Maneki-neko Postcard Material: 420g thick, art paper texture Thickness: 0.5mm Size: 148mm x 105mm Writing: Compatible with all types of pens Eco-friendly: Printed with eco-friendly inks The paper boasts a soft, non-reflective white hue, offering an elegant and delicate visual experience.
