This striking Japanese woodblock print-style artwork presents a modern twist on traditional ukiyo-e art, featuring a Siamese cat wearing a luxurious red kimono decorated with vibrant pink and white floral patterns against a black hexagonal background. The cat stands contemplatively on a wooden veranda (engawa), gazing at a distant Mount Fuji beneath a full moon. The scene captures a serene moment with traditional Japanese elements: pine trees with emerald needles, stylised clouds, and a blue bird (possibly a mynah) perched on the railing. In the background, a small table holds what appears to be a bowl decorated with a wave pattern (波), adding to the Japanese aesthetic. The composition includes classic ukiyo-e elements such as the yellow fan-shaped cartouche in the upper left containing Japanese characters, and a red circular seal with kanji in the lower left. The artwork masterfully combines the refined elegance of traditional Japanese art with contemporary whimsy through its feline protagonist. The colour palette is particularly striking, with deep reds and blacks of the kimono contrasting beautifully against the subtle gradient of the sky and the lush green of the pine needles. The overall effect creates a harmonious blend of classical Japanese artistry and modern sensibilities, making it a sophisticated piece suitable for both traditional and contemporary interior spaces. The piece successfully maintains the balance, composition, and attention to detail characteristic of ukiyo-e prints while introducing playful, contemporary elements that make it uniquely appealing to modern audiences.
