William Kumanichi notes that there is a cat who wears samurai armor (甲冑, かっちゅう, katchyū - kinda sounds like a cat sneeze, doesn’t it?) and hangs out at Sakuranobaba Josaien. Named Kotetsu, the 7-year-old male regularly takes walks with her owner, Seiji Nishioka - photo is at the link - wearing red armor with a little cat foot design (as Sandburg noted, “The ninja comes in on little cat feet.”) Such a sight would be enough to give one … paws. Bring your camera and maybe a piece of dried fish. https://tinyurl.com/yckva3ja
