Cats of Tokaido by Kuniyoshi
Cats of Tokaido is one of Utagawa Kuniyoshi's most celebrated series — a complete reimagining of Hiroshige's famous 53 Stations of the Tokaido highway, with every human figure replaced by a cat. The conceit is executed with total commitment: the landscapes, compositions, and mood of the original series remain intact, while the feline protagonists go about their business with magnificent seriousness. Kuniyoshi's woodblock technique is at its confident best here — bold contours, nuanced color, and a graphic energy that makes each station feel alive with personality.
Printed as an archival fine art print in our Berlin studio, the bold ukiyo-e linework and layered color of Kuniyoshi's design are reproduced with the sharpness and fidelity that this level of printmaking craftsmanship deserves.
