Shortly after his arrival, it began to storm outside, but he was safe inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He missed the thunderstorm thanks to the conversation he struck up with the temple master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lord was so impressed by the luck the cat brought him that he donated money to rebuild the temple in 1633.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later, the Gotokuji Temple built the Shofuku-den to enshrine the cat that brought such good fortune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They named the cat \u201cManekineko.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id5564_b9fb72-8a{margin-top:4.5em;margin-bottom:3em;}.kb-row-layout-id5564_b9fb72-8a >
