Mederu Kuniyoshi Book Cat

Travel back in time to a picture paper shop in Edo. 60 pieces to look at, display, and enjoy the details
The "Mederu Kuniyoshi Book'' series is designed to allow you to enjoy each picture on a single page of B5 size, just like choosing your favorite picture at a picture book store.
It can be read as a book with explanations in Japanese and English, but it can be separated. I tried to think of a way for us today to enjoy the atmosphere of the works in the same way that people in the Edo period enjoyed picture paper. The correct way to use this book is to cut out the pieces you like one by one and enjoy them freely.
The first collection of cats includes tasteful paintings of beautiful cats, representative works of cats, portraits of actors, and rare drawings of cats.
"Cats are small animals that live in the palm of a person's palm.Humans interact with the animal in their palm as equals, and sometimes they are placed beneath them. I feel a sense of joy in the cat's pride, and the occasional clumsiness. He laughs while covering his mouth so as not to hurt their pride.And, enjoying the unique relationship between humans and cats in his paintings is the way to enjoy the cats that Kuniyoshi painted, and that is exactly what Kuniyoshi is. It may also be an attempt to read the relationship between the artist and the cat." (From the text)

Kuniyoshi Utagawa (1797-1861) was one of the great masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting. Born in 1797 to a silk-dyer, he helped his father's business as a pattern designer. His drawing talent from an early age attracted the attention of the famous print master Toyokuni Utagawa, and Kuniyoshi became one of his apprentices in 1811. The range of Kuniyoshi's preferred subjects included many genres: landscapes, beautiful women, Kabuki actors, mythical animals, and cats. More than any other Japanese artist, Kuniyoshi depicted cats humorously and satirically, with great accuracy and careful observation.
