Legend

Seven persons are on a boat. It's a symbol of wealth, health and good luck.
 

Beckoning cats are often used for the same purpose.

 He gathers gold like a pirate.  福 means happiness.






It’s yummy, but you may feel too sweet.

  1. Hi Masa! I'm sorry I was away for too long - too much happening in my life right now :) Hope you have been fine these recent days/weeks. I miss blogging so much!

    I was always wondering about this cat - is it actually Japanese or Chinese? I almost bought it last year, but them something stopped me... They are really cute though. Just pure good luck?? :) Very non-European ;) I love different.

    Take care and greetings!

  2. Hi Olga
    I haven’t seen you for ages. I passed the hectic schedule more than five weeks.
    Anyway, these cats are usually sold as souvenirs. In that case, Chinese cats may be more populous than Japanese ones―though all of these are made in Japan. We may not feel attraction what we know well.

  3. Hi Masa! Hope all is well. I hope you had a good rest of the summer. I have been very busy with all the changes and looking for a new job. And now things seem to be getting back to normal again. I hope to blog more often now that it's autumn again. I love autumn. How about you? Hope things are gradually getting back to normal in Japan. Take care.
