Japan has a long relationship with cats, the cat on the wash basin is from the 1600 AD wash basin of the first wife of the Lord Kikkuya ( the water basin is in the top). The live "nikko" is from a pavilion at the Kikkuya Castle in Iwakuni. The cat was being fed by a middle aged woman who I tryed to talk to a little with my limited Japanese language. She poured my MFLC partner and I both a cup of tea. Very sweet person. The Kikkuya family ruled for 270 years. Gives a slightly different meaning to the word family doesn't it. Makes me hope that my relatioships last as long.
