KUNIYOSHI LOVES CATS Men's Hoodie
Japanese name/ 猫の歌舞伎 (Neko no Kabuki)
-About-
One of three Museum Collection patterns at Pagong inspired by great ukiyo-e masters of the Edo-era, “Kuniyoshi Loves Cats!”. The composition for this pattern is actually based on two ukiyo-e works by Kuniyoshi Utagawa who lived from 1797 to 1861, in Edo (modern-day Tokyo).
The son of a kimono silk-dyer, Kuniyoshi apprenticed from the age of twelve in the tradition of ukiyo-e woodblock printmaking.
As an adult artist, Kuniyoshi became quite well-known for his prints depicting Kabuki actors and beautiful courtesans. However, when the ruling shogunate placed an official ban on the making of prints depicting the popular actors and courtesans, (reflecting his love of felines), Kuniyoshi ingeniously began to use his own charming and beloved cats as his subjects,“cats that have been well-loved”, he liked to say.
Creating hundreds of works of his own cats “playing humans”, Kuniyoshi packed each print with his witty, entertaining style, and often his friends told, while having a cat cozily sleeping in the folds of his kimono as he worked.
Neko no Hyakumensou and Hayarineko no Tawamure are the prints used in the making of Kuniyoshi Loves Cats!
A collaboration with GALLERY BENIYA.
