Good Luck Talismans

Decoration:Something that adds effect
Talismans:Good luck charms

Many Japanese like making wishes. For their wishes to come true they go buy a Daruma doll. They paint one eye on and if their wish comes true they paint the other eye on. Old dolls get traded for new ones on New Years.

Some Japanese buy Maneki-neko which is a cat that brings good buisness and is a decoration for shops. It's not a real cat. It is a decoration of a cat that has a paw lifted so it can call costumers and buisness.
