Tokyo｜Gotoku-ji Temple ⛩️Maneki Neko🎏
Tokyo's Setagaya Gotoku-ji Temple: The Legendary Birthplace of the "Maneki Neko"
Yesterday, I made a special trip to Gotoku-ji Temple in Tokyo.
It's known as the "Maneki Neko Temple."
The entire temple grounds are filled with white maneki cats of various sizes!
⛩️🎐Gotoku-ji Temple, built in 1480, was originally a Soto Zen temple and is famous for the "Maneki Neko Legend." Legend has it that during the Edo period, the feudal lord Ii Naotaka was passing by when a temple cat beckoned him into the temple to take shelter from the rain. Deeply moved by Buddhist teachings, he designated the temple as the Ii family's family temple and began enshrining the Maneki Neko (beckoning cat), symbolizing good fortune and prosperity.
