THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed awayโฆ An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the catโs funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who havenโt read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. Sheโs now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now Iโm crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially โsecond tamaโ or โtama IIโ) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
Iโm crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).ย There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because itโs a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
โSun-tama-tamaโ (a pun off of โSantamaโ, lit. โthird Tamaโ) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tamaโs successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, โI will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.โ [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tamaโs Twitter account.
Every time I see this post thereโs new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.
The shrine of Tama Daimyลjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.
Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyลjin on the anniversary of Tamaโs Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus canโt hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)
you cannot pass without reblogging guys. iโm sorry, i donโt make the rules.
You canโt not reblog a goddess. Itโs just whatโs so. :)
So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.
And they are announcing the winner of the โup and coming godโ award, and of course, Yato thinks itโs him.
But no-
ITS TAMA!
Always reblogging this.
Likewise.
Bow, bow, clap-clap, bow.
Changed to this version for the manga addition.
Posted in memory of Tama Daimyojin on the anniversary of her passing.
