Gicle Print "Ramen Cats' - Handmade Japanese Washi Paper

This is the newest print in our ever-growing Cats seres. Just like its predecessor, ‘Sushi Cats’, this new design also maintains the lighthearted feel of a night on the town. The animals are out for an evening snack, stopping at this open stall for a quick bowl of comfort food. One wonders - what kind of broth do cats prefer? Pork? Fish? Chicken? … Mouse bone? . This print is full of Japanese cat puns. The smaller cartouche reads: . (neko-jita) literally means ‘cat tongue’ in Japanese. It’s an idiom that means someone who can’t eat hot food. The imagery of a cat timidly lapping with its tongue is a fun metaphor for a person who can’t commit to a hot bowl of soup! Westerners are sometimes referred to as neko-jita, because they are often surprised by how hot the Japanese like their food. Archival pigments on acid-free handmade Japanese paper. Every print is signed & sealed by the artist. Measures 12x17 inches. For framing, I recommend a 16x20 inch (or 40x50 cm) frame, which is a standard factory size at any major craft or home decor store." Gicle Print “Ramen Cats’ - Handmade Japanese Washi Paper
