In Japanese culture, cats are primarily symbols of good fortune, prosperity, and protection. They are revered as guardians that ward off evil spirits and bring positive energy, a belief deeply rooted in Shinto and Buddhist traditions as well as folklore like the maneki-neko (beckoning cat).
White cats represent purity, happiness, and spiritual enlightenment. And peony flowers are symbol of wealth.
