Cats! One of the greatest symbols of Cool Japan, without which it is difficult to talk about contemporary Japanese pop culture. Although they also appeared on woodcuts, traditional cat toys were created, and you can visit cat temples all over the country, the boom of cats has come at the beginning of the 21st century. Cat cafes, cat blogs, bookstores devoted to cat themes, manekineko cat figurines, cat festivals, cat design, cats in art – in the latest Manami Okazaki book you will see and read about everything related to cats.
The author talks to the creators of traditional figures and fashion designers, writes about cat residents in special cat guest houses and presents the islands and best places to visit for all feline fans. All this is accompanied by a lot of photos and illustrations that will make you mark all the cat’s places on the map that you must see one day. And we are waiting for a similar book about dogs!
