A look at the Edo period through 浮世絵 of cats.

If you like cats, you'll probably enjoy this book. The basic structure of this book is that first you get the 浮世絵 (sometimes multiple at once) and then there is a short text by the author about it. Sometimes details are pointed out, sometimes there are remarks about the techniques used, and sometimes there are historical anecdotes. The texts themselves are fairly short, most easily fit on one page. The author's love of cats is apparent throughout.

This is the sort of book that is perfect if you want to read just a few minutes before going to bed. I'm usually not a fan of the 浮世絵 style, but after reading this book I feel like I can appreciate it more.
