The Japanese artwork Cats by Utagawa Kuniyoshi is an iconic piece of art from the Edo period in Japan. Utagawa Kuniyoshi was one of the major figures of the ukiyo-e printmaking style, and his cats are a testament to his skill.

The art consists of a group of cats, being depicted in a variety of poses and activities.

The cats embody the traditional Japanese spirit of harmony and joy, and this is reflected in the scenes they are presented in. The cats in Kuniyoshi’s artwork are said to be an allegory for a happy marriage, and they symbolize the ideal of two people coming together in harmony.
