I saw this new idol at a local stone masons shop.  The English writing (no Japanese) says The God of   things  as they  Ought to Be This god's name is Billiken.  Such a serene look on that face, but it can't see, speak or hear. It may be a cute object sitting there with all its toes, but it sure cannot answer anyone's prayers to make "things as they ought to be."
