What does "good luck" really mean and how can it be achieved? This enlightening book explores the ways in which "good luck" symbols and rituals in Japan are used in conjunction with diligence and a positive attitude to help people overcome the many twists and difficult moments of life.

It examines how customs and beliefs play a vital role in creating positive expectations and outcomes—and includes practical exercises to bring good luck and happiness into your life. The author, Nobuo Suzuki, introduces us to beloved Japanese iconic symbols of luck, prosperity, and goal-setting, explaining what they really represent—including Maneki Neko ("Fortune Cat"), Daruma ("Fortune Tumbler"), and the Seven Gods of Good Fortune.

We also learn about some unusual and much-loved modern Japanese symbols of luck, such as the "Golden Cocoa". These symbols promote a sense of community that contributes to the happiness and prosperity of all individuals in Japan. With this book, luck becomes a matter of self-understanding and connection with others, rather than something existing outside of us and others. It is an integral part of life and learning to shape our destiny with pride and satisfaction.
