Arakawa Seal Given Honorary Residency Certificate
Ara-chan, the seal that has been hanging out in the Arakawa river since last week, has been given a special certificate of residency from the city of Shiki:
On the the residency certificate, they decided to assign the seal the last name “Shiki,” so nobody would be confused about the city in which it is living.
Note: this is just “special” residency certificate, not a real residency permit. It doesn’t have the same legal status as a real residency permit, and the animal will obviously never use it for anything.
