"A cat on the alert, back arched, pounces on a frog hidden in the reeds. The animal's entire body is in the moment of the hunt - total concentration, restrained energy."

Context of the work

This ink painting on silk is the work of Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831-1889), one of the most original and unclassifiable Japanese painters of the Meiji era, known as the demon painter (Kyōsai literally means "mad about painting").

His depictions of animals, particularly cats and frogs, are among the most famous of his work. Kyōsai captures movement with a vividness that anticipates modern art.

Why was Kawanabe Kyōsai nicknamed the "demon painter"?

Kyōsai (1831-1889) literally means "mad about painting" - a nickname that reflects his virtuoso and unclassifiable style, inherited from the traditional Kanō school but transformed into a vividness that anticipates modern art.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is eco-friendly paper from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
