2/22 Japanese Cat Day

If you hear a chorus of "nyan nyan nyan" echoing inside our store this February, it’s just Neko no Hi/Japanese Cat Day (Don't worry, we won't have any actual cats inside the store)! In Japan, the date 2/22 is a clever play on words. While the number two is officially ni, it is often playfully pronounced as "nyan" - the Japanese word for "meow." This makes 2/22 the ultimate day for nyan-nyan-nyan celebrations! To honor this tradition, we are bringing the feline festivities to life with a focus on Japanese craftsmanship and our wonderful community.
