Here are the mascots/amulets of a sub-shrine of Sumiyoshi Taisha called "Nankun-sha" (楠珺社). They are a variation of the well-known manekineko cat called "shofuku-neko" (招福猫) and dressed in official samurai clothes.
(For a bigger version of this picture both in color and black and white, check my "Japan Arekore" set on Flickr).
