Biliken Shrine
The Biliken is the “God of Thing-As-They-Ought-To-Be” and also a sort of unofficial mascot for the city of Osaka. Biliken can be seen all around Osaka and various other parts of Japan, bringing luck and prosperity to restaurants, shops, and other attractions. People can rub the Bilikens feet and offer a coin donation for good luck. Despite being a God in Japan, his design was actually created by an American artist from Kansas City in the early 1900s and is actually the mascot for some St Louis schools.
There’s a famous Biliken inside the Tsutenkaku Tower that people visit all the time for luck. But just outside the tower, amongst the sea of restaurants sits this tiny unassuming Tsutenkaku Tower shrine. I imagine to bring luck to the area of shops and restaurants.
