Back in 1990, while taking a stroll along the Tama River, photographer Osamu Konishi came upon a surreal scene: dozens of cats sitting amicably and quietly on the branches of a tree, almost like apples waiting to be picked, as well as on the ground below.
When Konishi went home and told his wife, Michiko, she didn¡¯t believe him. So he took her to the spot the next day to see for herself, except this time there was a man feeding the strays.
They decided to help him.
