Meow!🐈 Gotokuji Temple in Tokyo is said to be the home of the maneki neko; lucky charms shaped like cats beckoning with their front paw. Although there are various types of maneki neko that raise either their left or right paw, Gotokuji Temple specializes in the cat figurines with the right paw raised. Thank you @lisainjapan for giving us a glimpse into how many maneki neko there truly are at Gotokuji Temple!
