Asia Week NY March 2026: Cats in Japanese Prints and Paintings
Japanese prints and paintings with cats have always held a special attraction, much like the alluring yet unknowable felines themselves. In Japan, cats historically held the roles of mouser, companion, muse and even monster. This group of works, years in the making, includes 19th century classical Ukiyo-e prints and drawings of beauties with cats as well as ink paintings and prints from the early 20th century that feature the felines as the primary subjects. For those interested in this subject we can highly recommend Rhiannon Paget's Devine Felines: The Cat in Japanese Art, published in 2023.
We will be showing the works in person in New York Saturday March 21 and Sunday March 22, 2026 at our suite at the Mark Hotel in Manhattan. Click here for more information.
