Frolicking Felines! Cats in Ukiyo-e

Sogo Museum of Art
Finished

Artists

Kuniyoshi Utagawa, Hiroshige Utagawa, Honen Tsukioka
Cats have been adored around the world for ages. In Japan, the general public began keeping them as pets in the Edo period and as Ukiyo-e took off as an art form, felines began making all sorts of appearances in these prints. The Sogo Museum of Art presents around 140 works of Ukiyo-e by masters such as Kuniyoshi Utagawa, Hiroshige Utagawa, and Yoshitoshi Tsukioka from the Hiraki Ukiyo-e Foundation, one of Japan’s finest Ukiyo-e collections.
