A nod to the past, but also a look to the future through the form of narrative playfulness is what you get with this piece titled Cat and Mouse by Kyosai Kawanabe. Born as the son of a samurai, Kawanabe became one of Japan’s first-ever political caricaturists. His almost tongue in cheek narrative style clear in this piece, which sees the cat holding a mouse in its paw rather nonchalantly. His ability to perfectly encapsulate attitudes through the posture and movements of the figures in his works garnered Kawanabe a reputation for being one of the most individualistic artists of his time.

1. Beauties After a Bath by Kitagawa Utamaro
Two young women just out of the hot spring baths are set upon by an adorable kitten in this woodblock print by one of the country’s most highly respected ukiyo-e talents, Kitagawa Utamaro. The artist was already indulging in one of his favorite artistic motifs of beautiful women and mischievous kitties over 200 years ago. Light and playful it’s the perfect encapsulation of Utamaro’s love of the female and feline forms.
Woman Holding Black Cat by Takehisa Yumeji
Takehisa Yumeji was known for his illustrations on book covers, newspapers, postcards, and even washi paper. A poet and a painter, Takehisa typically painted bijinga (paintings of beautiful women) with wide eyes and in a somewhat modernized style. In his book The Concept of Japanese Painting he emphasized the value of lines in Japanese art, which he believed was a linear representation of a human’s innermost thoughts and process. Woman Holding Black Cat is a woodblock print of ink on paper. Many iterations and copies of this image have been made since this creation in 1920.
The Third Princess and Kashiwagi by Yoshu Chikanobu
The Third Princess and Kashiwagi illustrates a scene from the famous book, The Tale of Genji. In this chapter, the third princess is spotted by Kashiwagi behind a blind, and then falls instantly in love with her. Kashiwagi catches a glimpse of her because of a kitten who brings his attention to the blind she stood behind. In Chikanobu’s depiction, however, we are able to see the Third Princess in full view. Here the third princess interacts with the kitten who, dashing under the bamboo blind, attracted Kashiwagi’s eye, and brought his gaze to rest on her. The kitten, though playful and unknowing, is the story’s catalyst – that eventually leads to violent events…
