そもそも、なぜ猫が招くと福が来るということになったのか。不思議な怪異や風俗、動植物にまつわる雑事を記した中国唐代の古典『酉陽雑俎』（西暦860年頃成立）にこんな一節があります。猫面ヲ洗って、耳ヲ過レバ、則客至ル。猫が顔を洗って、その手が耳寄り上に出ると客がくるという俗信です。なぜこのような俗信ができたのかは不明・・・。猫の動作が手招きしているように見えたのでしょうか。もともとの招き猫のご利益は「人を招く」ということでした。客商売はもちろん、来客は何かをもたらしてくれる大切な御縁でした。猫が顔を洗えば客がくる、来客があれば福をもたらしてくれる。これが招き猫の謂れです。招き猫の形式に決まりはなく、現代では全国各地で様々な形でアレンジされていますが、江戸時代から続く招き猫の歴史の中で、その形や柄にいろいろな意味があることが言い伝えられてきました。カネ三商店では多種多様な招き猫を取り揃えておりますので、是非お楽しみ下さい。
