Why is black cat considered as a symbol of good luck in Japan?

Demon Cat The legendary cat is a real black cat. I don't know if you have found out, even the cat held by Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan is this black cat. It can be seen that people in the Tang Dynasty regarded the black cat as an auspicious thing before holding it around them. Japan is no exception. In ancient Japan, from wealthy families to the royal family, almost everyone had the habit of keeping black cats or putting black cat ornaments.

Only a few countries in the west regard black cats as gods, especially Egypt, and even black cats have successfully advanced to the point where they can take charge of death.

In Britain, this is a bit interesting. As long as a black cat is willing to stop and let you touch its head, it will bring good luck, but touching its tail is the opposite.

In Japan, black cats have been regarded as lucky cats for a long time, symbolizing good luck. In Japan before the Meiji Restoration, black cats, as "lucky cats", symbolized evil spirits, luck and commercial prosperity because of night vision and other reasons, and black lucky cats also had a beautiful moral, that is, to drive away evil spirits and disasters.

This can be said to be the pot of Meiji Restoration. In most western countries abroad, black cats are regarded as unlucky, so at that time, for completely westernized Japanese, they were gradually regarded as unlucky.

In most countries in the western world, especially those countries where Japan is open-minded to learn, black cats are often described as the embodiment of demons, so the superstition that "black cats are unlucky" is widely circulated in Japan.

The culture introduced into Japan from the west contains superstitions that only belong to westerners, so the superstition that "black cats are unfortunate" has spread.

Natsume Sasaki of Japan likes black cats very much. In his I'm a Cat, the prototype of the hero "I" is a black wildcat. At the age of 37, Suoshiji lost his way and ran into Xia's home. It is said that Sasaki's wife mirror loves him as a lucky cat.
