Day 7 Echizen - Nara
We will travel light for the next two days. We have sent our luggage to Karuizawa via the hotel in advance of our trip. Practical and cheap. Fingers crossed that everything will turn out well. State of the suitcase: half of it is now filled with “Japan - Mokuhanga stuff”. Vladimir has the same problem and has the idea of ‘unloading’ some clothes in order to have more space.
A little bit nervous - portfolio day in Echizen.

A Cat Temple: Soothing the Mind and Soul - Document 72 Hours | NHK WORLD-JAPAN On Demand
Ohta-kun, Futa, Elf, Cowcow ... are four of the sixteen cats that live on the grounds of a temple at the foot of the mountains of Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture. The former head priest began providing care for abandoned cats, and today, the temple is visited by many cat lovers from near and far. Among the visitors was a man who comes to get away from the stress of his job, and a former cat owner who overcame the death of his cat by coming to this temple. There's a story behind not only the people who come to visit but the cats that have made their way to this temple. For three days, we listened to their stories.
