Fujisawa City Collection - Maneki-Neko-Tei Collection - A Cats' World II
March 19 [Sat]-May 15 [Sun], 2022.
 Kuniyoshi Kaneko "Micky & Lily" |
First held in the summer of 2011, The exhibition "A Cats' World" warmed visitors' heart in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake. On view for the second time at Kasama Nichido Museum of Art, the exhibition puts on display an even larger collection. People's fascination with cats dates back to the ancient times when they were cherished for several of their characteristic traits: their loveliness, delicate movements, wild nature and mystical presence to name a few. The "Maneki-Neko-Tei Collection" is a collection of cat-themed artworks put together over a period of 40 years by a couple who shared a common passion for cats. The exhibition features artworks from both Eastern and Western artists who have been expressing an interest in cats and includes Kuniyoshi Utagawa's Ukiyo-e work and artworks by Tsuguharu Fujita and Tadanori Yokoo. We hope that through this artwork selection you will be able to experience the same compelling fascination with cats.
