About the movie
Gokogu, a small ancient Shinto shrine in Ushimado known as the Cat Shrine, is home to dozens of street cats and draws worshipers, gardeners, volunteer cleaners, anglers chasing Japanese sardinella, and children who play nearby. Though it appears tranquil and is beloved by cat-loving residents and visitors, the shrine stands at the center of a sensitive issue that divides the local community. Filmmaker Master Soda has started recording the aging traditional community and its spiritual focal point.
