History

A shamoji is a large flat spoon used to stir and serve rice, as well as mix vinegar into the rice for sushi. It is said to have been created by a monk on Itsukushima, Hiroshima Prefecture. The word is derived from the first part of shakushi (杓子, "ladle"), plus the moji (文字, "character") suffix.

The bakeneko (化け猫, "changed cat") is a type of Japanese yōkai; more specifically, it is a supernatural cat. Their fur can cause sparks when petted due to static electricity, they sometimes lick blood, and they can walk without making a sound. In an Edo period encyclopedia, it is said that a cat licking lamp oil is an omen of an impending strange event.
