Originally created in 1850, Utagawa Yoshifuji’s The Supernatural Cat of the Tokaidō blends folklore and illusion into a single mesmerizing image. What first appears to be a monstrous feline face is revealed, on closer inspection, to be formed from the intertwined bodies of multiple calico cats—each rendered with Kuniyoshi’s signature wit and precision. Against a backdrop of sweeping lines and shadowed latticework, the creature seems to materialize from smoke and moonlight, balancing playfulness with an unmistakable sense of the uncanny. In this inventive composition, Kuniyoshi transforms everyday cats into a supernatural vision, inviting the viewer into a world where imagination slips effortlessly into the mysterious.
