A must-see story for cat lovers. It is a mysterious story of cats and humans passed down from the Edo period. Kaikyoin Nekozuka A fishmonger who loved his cat very much becomes unable to do business due to illness, and his livelihood becomes destitute. One day, the cat disappeared and returned to the fishmonger's house. One day, the cat disappears and does not return. At a merchant's house, the cat was found trying to escape with the two ryos and was beaten to death by the servants. When the fishmonger learned of this, he told the owner of the merchant house about the situation. The owner was so moved by the cat's kindness that he and the fishmonger buried the cat's body at Kaikyoin Temple. The story is introduced in several books of the Edo period, but the setting of the names of people and places differs from book to book. Although it is a folk tale that spread among Edo children, it is listed as one of the most valuable cultural assets as a real-life cat's grave. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
