More than a thousand maneki-neko on shelves. They are only sold until 15:00.
The maneki-neko are stacked in their hundreds on the shelves, from a few centimetres to thirty tall. They are not a display: people who got what they asked for bring theirs back. You can buy them at the temple in nine sizes, and the counter closes at three in the afternoon.
A Sōtō school temple in Setagaya, considered the birthplace of the maneki-neko. The grounds also hold a three-storey pagoda from 2006 and the cemetery of the Ii family.
