「福ねこat百段階段」展

We hold various events to introduce Japanese culture at “Hyakudan Kaidan (one hundred steps)”, one of the Tangible Cultural Properties Designated by Tokyo Prefecture.


This is an exhibition of “cat artworks” by 9 Japanese artists in the Japanese house built over 80 years ago. Adorable cats are expressed from various angles through three-dimensional works jumping out of the popular artist Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s Ukiyoe-prints, the illustrations of Yokai cats and the cats drawn on pottery dishes.

Cats are said to be brought from China in the Nara period. Rare animals loved by the court nobility became familiar presence for the commons in the time of Edo.With the graceful figure and the beautiful eyes, somewhat mysterious cat has appeared as a motif of various arts since olden times. This spring, approximately 1,000 artworks of creative and skilful contemporary artists will be displayed in “Hyakudan Kaidan”, the famous Showa architecture and one of the Tangible Cultural Properties Designated by Tokyo Prefecture.
Please enjoy a pleasant spring time with the six form of arts (painting, three-dimensional art, pottery, doll, sculpture and picture).
