When you go to souvenir shops, various beckoning cats
You can see it.

If you look closely, you can see the rising hand (front leg?) But
It's the right hand or the left hand.
It seems to have a meaning.

The right hand invites money.
The left hand invites people.
In both hands, both money luck and a thousand customers who invite people
It is said that there is a great deal.

And the higher the hand you raise, the more you invite the distant fortune.

Nihonbashi has been famous as a "Prayer for lost cats" since the Edo period.
There are many beckoning cats at the shrine as a thank you for fulfilling your wish.
I have it.

Beckoning cats have been loved by many Japanese since ancient times.
I hear that it is becoming more popular overseas.
You are still alive even in the year of the dog.

　The "winter solstice" has the shortest daytime time in the year and the longest nighttime.

　On this day, daytime hours increase and rise.

"Ichiyorai" means going for good luck.

　In this winter solstice, "n = luck" is hopeful that luck will recover.

There is a lucky charm that eats two overlapping ingredients.

• 　Pumpkin #Pumpkin
• 　Ginkgo (Ginnan)
• 　Ginseng (carrot)
• 　Lotus root
• 　Golden citrus
• 　Agar (kanten)
• 　Udon # Udon

Eat nutritious ingredients with high nutritional value.

Let's survive this time when the cold weather gets severe.

This is the scenery mark of Chuo Tsukiji Post Office.

Ochiya of Nakajima, Tsukiji Market and Fish in Hamarikyu Garden.

It's drawn.

The post office will include the Research Office of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in the market.

It's on the second floor of a building with a lot of age.

　At the timing of the market relocation plan last year, the Chuo-Tsukiji Bureau was established.

It will also be relocated to the new market and renamed the Toyosu Market Post Office.

A "news" was posted on the station.

In the future, if the name is changed, this landscape mark will be abolished.

Is it?

Take a walk to the Hamarikyu Garden, buy New Year's Eve, etc.

Why don't you stop by when you're near me?

Please be careful about traffic rules, etc.
