Cat lovers had better to go to watch Ukiyoe cats images exhibition at Ukiyoe Ota memorial Museum of Art at Harajyuku, if you stay in Tokyo. It will finish on July 26th (THU) 2012. These cats are wearing kimonos, dancing, playing Kabuki, eating, drinking, frightening people, taking a bath, wedding and so on. They are splendid works for Kuniyoshi school members at Edo period.

They say there are 2321 cats at the exhibition! (I guess it was difficult to count them.)
Could you please tell me if the 10th image is the cover of the catalog? I collect ukiyo-e with cat witches and anthropomorphib cats, and am desperately trying to track down the catalog, and a source for it. Thanks

8th is the catalog “Ukiyoe Neko-Hyakkei Kuniyoshi Ichimon Neko-dukushi”. I checked the web site of Ukiyoe Ota memorial museum of art, but unfortunatelly it has been sold out. If you go to the museum site, you can see other images. http://www.ukiyoe-ota-muse.jp/H240607nekozukushi.html

We’re a little late reblogging this but some of you might have missed it (like we did initially). So check these wonderful paintings of Japanese Cats at Myau Myau’s photo gallery.
