A cat curls asleep while a pattern blooms around it

Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831–1889) was one of the most brilliant and irreverent painters of Meiji Japan — a virtuoso draughtsman who studied both the Kanō school and ukiyo-e traditions before developing a wildly individual style that combined supernatural imagery, biting satire, and exceptional painterly freedom. Known as the demon of painting, his works — frogs, demons, ravens, sleeping cats — mix wit and technical mastery in a voice entirely his own.
