Hiro then took me out to Gotokuji Temple where I saw many cat statues of varying sizes. Weakened and got a notebook at a souvenir shop on the way back.

Hiro talked about a lord of the Ii clan who got himself memorably killed on a snowy day.

Very pretty old style houses in Gotokuji. Like in Japanese TV dramas.

Countless cats

Only one cat per person
