One day, a man of great wealth and importance was caught in a storm while hunting and took refuge under a big tree that stood near the temple. While waiting out the storm, the man saw a cat beckoning him to come closer to the door of the temple. Such was his astonishment that he left the shelter offered by the tree and went for close to such a unique cat. At that moment, lightning struck the tree that had sheltered him.

a result, the rich man poor befriended the priest and the church prospered, so the priest and his cat never go hungry again.

After his death, Tama was a solemn and loving burial at Temple Goutokuji cat, and the Maneki Neko was created in his honor. It says a Maneki Neko in the workplace, home or even a web page brings good luck and visitors.
