Katzen

Cats in masterpieces of Japanese art, presented in a giant accordion book within a decorative box. This gift-ready set features enchanting works depicting cats: a 12-meter-long painting accordion with linen binding and a booklet in a decorative box will delight all art and cat lovers. For centuries, cats have played an important role in Japanese culture. Long before Hello Kitty, they were revered by all layers of Japanese society. This charming gift box brings together woodblock prints by the masters of Japanese printmaking, including Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Kuniyoshi. They wonderfully reflect Japan's complex relationship with cats. Cats are depicted as playful and cuddly, threatening and predatory, with erotic allusions, and they are seen as symbols of prosperity and taste. Each of these prints captures the personality of its subject with exquisite details and vibrant colors.
