Lucky Cats at Gotoku Temple

Thousands of Maneki-Neko figurines on display at Goutoku Temple on January 26, 2016 in Tokyo, Japan. The temple, and surrounding area, is well known for its massive collection of Maneki-Neko, literally beckoning cats. The cats are a common Japanese charm thought to bring good luck to the owner. They are often displayed at the entrance to shops and restaurants but Goutoku Temple goes one further and displays over 1000 cats throughout its grounds. (Video by Rodrigo Reyes Marin/AFLO)
