TOKYO, JAPAN STREET ART: SPACE INVADER ~ MANEKI-NEKO

Published on by jacquelinemhadel2 Comments

The maneki-neko(Japanese: 招き猫?, literally “beckoning cat“) is a common Japanese figurine (lucky charm, talisman), usually made of ceramic in modern times, which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. The figurine depicts a cat (traditionally a calicoJapanese Bobtail) beckoning with an upright paw, and is usually displayed—often at the entrance—in shops, restaurants, pachinko parlors, and other businesses. Some of the sculptures are electric or battery-powered and have a slow-moving paw beckoning. The maneki-neko is sometimes also called the welcoming cat, lucky cat, money cat, happy cat, or fortune cat in English. ~wikipedia

TOKYO (SHIBUYA,) JAPAN: I’M FREE, I THINK

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

“I’m free, I think. I shut my eyes and think hard and deep about how free I am, but I can’t really understand what it means. All I know is I’m totally alone. All alone in an unfamiliar place, like some solitary explorer who’s lost his compass and his map. Is this what it means to be free? I don’t know, and I give up thinking about it.” ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
