This series is part of my first overseas photobook, ‘Neko Cats of Japan,’ published in March 2026. Traveling across Japan, I capture the subtle gestures and expressions that reveal cats’ true hearts, along with their unique personalities and adorable moments in nature. Each photo is a heartfelt tribute to these beloved feline companions living vibrantly in Japan’s beautiful landscapes.
