Each drawn Engimono pattern has a different meaning:

<Maneki Neko> Brings good fortune and attracts customers

Originally a lucky charm to protect crops from mice and silkworms, it gradually became synonymous with bringing good fortune.
The right paw is said to represent money and good luck, while the left paw represents inviting noble people.

<Mount Fuji> Immortality and longevity, rising in the world

Fuji (Fushi) has the same pronunciation as the Japanese word for "immortality," symbolizing a prayer for eternal youth.
Mount Fuji, the highest and widest mountain in Japan, also represents the success of noble goals and ideal careers.

<Tai (Sea Bream)> Longevity, prosperity in business

As an offering to the gods. The tai used is the tai owned by "Ebisu," one of the Seven Lucky Gods.
Tai is a symbol of business prosperity, and it is said to imply longevity within schools of fish.

<Daruma> Wards off evil and dispels misfortune, eliminates sickness and disaster

An ornament modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism.
Bodhidharma wore a vermilion robe, so the Daruma ornament also became red, and people deeply believe that red has the power to ward off evil and cure diseases.
