Document 72 Hours - Season 6 Episode 24 Uwasa's cat and shopping street
Near Mito Station, there is a shopping street with a rather unusual signboard cat. His name is Hachi. The “figure eight” pattern on its forehead has made it very popular, with people saying that it brings good luck and that its pitiful face is cute. The tobacco store where he tends to his store is inundated with people who come to buy lottery tickets and make wishes. Whether he knows it or not, Hachi sleeps at his own pace or retreats to the back of the store.... The people of the shopping street are happy or sad as they make their wishes on the “cat that brings good fortune” over the three days of the festival.
