Japan's connection with cats is always tangible. The legacy of cats goes all the way back to the famous robotic earless blue cat. The Japanese have also created Totoro, Hello Kitty, Guest Cat and the grey kitten from Chi's Sweet Home.
I couldn't help but feel obsessed to fit in one more book, The Cat Who Saved Books, when my wife shoehorned our travel luggage for Hokkaido trip. That's the story of a mysterious talking tabby cat called Tiger.
If you love books, you will love Tiger. If you want to discover the way to connect with kind-hearted but introverted people – otherwise known as hikikomori in Japan – you will be eager to find the feline friend Tiger.
I feel so lucky to have picked the book about Tiger to travel. It's like the best cheese and wine pairing – uplifting and deeply satisfying.
