THE FAITHFUL CAT LINOCUT TRIPTYCH PRINT SET
“The Story of the Faithful Cat”
A triptych involving two nekomata. It is said that once your cat reaches a certain age, its tail splits in two and becomes capable of committing evil acts. This story in particular highlights the heroic acts of two nekomata.
A villager’s cat seemed to be spending an unnatural amount of time around his daughter, and so he suspected that his cat was in love with her and was going to cast a spell on her. While plotting to kill the cat, it visited the man in his sleep and told him he was protecting his daughter from a rat who lived in the granary. As it turns out, this rat was the one plotting to steal the daughter. So the pair sought to kill the rat, and enlisted the help of another local cat named Buchi.
The two cats were put in the granary overnight, and after some time, a loud clamor was heard, and so the man checked on the granary and found the two cats tangled up with the rat, whose throat was cut. The cats were injured, and despite all efforts, succumbed to these injuries. But thanks to their heroic acts, they were buried with all honors at a neighboring temple, while the rat was tossed into the river.

THE CARP OF MY DREAMS LINO PRINT
"The Carp of My Dreams" (roughly translated from "Muo no Rigyo") is a print depicting a scene from the story by the same name written by Ueda Akinari, from his work "Ugetsu Monogatari". The tale is about a monk who loved painting fish, and would save fish by purchasing them from fishermen and then set them free.
One day, the monk falls ill, and while unconscious, the god of the sea reincarnates him as a fish as a reward for saving so many in his days. He warns the monk to be wary of fisherman trying to trick him, as it is easy to be tricked when hungry. Eventually, the monk’s hunger gets the best of him, and he ends up being captured and eaten by his friend. After waking up, he returns to his human body, and comes to terms with his second life as a fish being over.
This work is meant to invoke the feelings of freedom and lightness that come with being in a dream. The play between light and dark aims to guide the eye first to the clouds and slowly into the foreground where the carp is being lured towards the hook. “The Carp of My Dreams” pays homage to the classic work “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” by Katsushika Hokusai while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of modern printmaking using linoleum.
Dimensions are approximately 27" x 20"
