<description>&lt;p&gt;In 1965, Yukio Togawa, a Japanese novelist found himself drawn to the whispers of a wild cat unknown to science. He set sail for the untamed wilderness of Iriomote Island and brought this wild cat - the Iriomote Cat to the world&amp;#39;s attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Togawa inadvertently sparked a conversation about the future of Iriomote Island - a delicate balance between the unspoiled wilderness that needed protection and the essential infrastructure that the island&amp;#39;s communities required.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, his legacy lives on through his daughter, Kumi. Inspired by her father&amp;#39;s passion and dedication, she continues his work, striving to conserve the Iriomote Cat and its habitat. This is their story, told by his daughter, a tale of conservation conflict and the enduring bond between a father, a daughter, and the wild cat that brought them together.&lt;/p&gt;
