The most popular Japanese symbol of good luck is the Maneki Neko (招き猫), the figure of a cat raising its paw that can be found all over the world today. Another much-loved object that summons good fortune is the Daruma (達磨), the figure that represents a monk without arms or legs on which one eye is painted to make a wish, while the other is painted to wait for its fulfillment.

Shintoism, the ancestral religion of Japan, also has numerous rites to attract money, love or fortune, and Buddhism or the animist religions of territories such as Okinawa or Hokkaidō have their own rituals.

How does each of them work and what history or deep meaning underlies this belief? How can we summon good luck with our daily habits?

This book explores all the tools - some magical, others practical - mainly from Japanese culture, to attract fortune and fulfill our wishes. In addition to learning the different rituals in an easy and motivating way, we will explore the essence of good luck and how we can incorporate it into our lives with the appropriate habits and attitudes.
