Beckoning Cats

The beckoning cats at Gotokuji Temple in Setagaya (my neighbourhood) are said to bring good luck.  Even for me they were cute cats.
The porcelain statues were everywhere and are meant to bring good luck. There are several versions of the history of the shrine and the cats.  The temple grounds were peaceful and zen like and cat free.
