1603. Japan enters the Edo period, the reign of the Tokugawa shoguns, when the country, closed off from the outside world, experiences a flourishing of culture, art and literature. It is during this period that Kobayashi Issa, one of the greatest masters of haiku, creates his poems, imbued with a deep love for nature and animals, especially cats. But behind the lines of his touching haiku lies a life story full of personal tragedies, the fight against discrimination and the search for solace in a world where cats become a symbol of freedom and independence. However, the Japanese love for cats has much deeper roots. Even before Issa, these mysterious creatures occupied a special place in Japanese mythology, religion and art. And today, cat culture is experiencing a new heyday: from the “nekonomika” and cat cafes to cat islands. The story of Tama, a calico cat who saved a train station from closure, is just one of many examples of how cats inspire and change the lives of Japanese people.

This book is a journey into Japanese culture, where Issa's cat haiku become a bridge between the past and the present. They remind us of the importance of emotion, freedom, and connection with nature, and how small creatures can inspire big changes.
