Early-blooming Kawazu-zakura at Sakura Jingū in Setagaya, Tokyo. It is said that your wish will come true if you write it on a pink ribbon and tie it to one of the trees.

Well… cats. Cats big and small. Cats that bring good luck. Cats that live in Gotokuji Temple. According to legend, in the early 17th century, a feudal lord caught in a severe thunderstorm was brought to the safety of the temple by a cat living there. She raised her paw up and the lord interpreted this as an inviting gesture. Grateful to the cat, he made generous donations to the temple, and even designated the cemetery near the temple as a cemetery for his family. The temple was later renamed Gotokuji after the Buddhist name of this lord, and a cat with a raised paw came to be considered a symbol of good luck. Since then, believers have brought figurines of Maneki-neko cats to this place. The moment you step through the elaborate wooden gates of the temple, a sense of serenity envelops you. The air is filled with the delicate aroma of incense, and the gentle rustling of leaves accompanies your every step.
