Why does it happen that when a cat waves, good luck comes?
The Chinese Tang Dynasty classic "Yuyang Weed" (circa 860 AD) describes strange things, customs and miscellaneous things related to animals and plants. One of the passages is as follows. When a cat washes his face and ears, he has a visitor. It is generally believed that if a cat washes its face and covers its ears with its hands, it will attract guests. Maybe the cat's movements seem to be beckoning. The original meaning of lucky cat is invitation guest, The arrival of guests will bring good luck.
The lucky mallet is a magical mallet that appears in ancient Japanese legends. Just wave the mallet and anything you want will appear in front of you.

Tokonameyaki

Produced in Tokoname City on the Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, it is one of the six ancient kilns in Japan and originated in the late Heian period.

This place has been famous for making daily necessities such as large bottles and jars since ancient times. The production of tea ceremony utensils began in the Momoyama period. By the Edo period, people cleverly took advantage of the high iron content of local clay to produce vermilion-yaki, white-niyaki, hiro-yaki and other pottery products , laying the foundation for modern pottery products.
