Manekineko, which means a Lucky Cat!

My colleague wrote this post yesterday. Yes, there are so many Manekineko, which means a lucky cat everywhere. But, sometimes too many.


This is a sushi restaurant. You see sushi in glass cases. And, please take a look at the upper left in the photo. 


Yeah, too many. 1 or 2 cat(s), it's OK. But, you know, could you count them?
My colleague wrote they bring money or customers due to the hands, left or right. If you are wondering about the gesture of a cat, you're familiar with Western style.

When Japanese beckon someone, the person will hold up the hand, palm out, and repeatedly folding the fingers down and back up. So they don't want to say "go away". Sure! They're beckoning cats.

Anyway too much. Too much money, it makes us more greedy. Too much customers, what should we do with them? If we have 10,000,000 beds, we can accept all! That's difficult, sorry! X(
