{"product_id":"cats-fifty-three-stations-tokaido","title":"Cats Suggested as the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis piece is a playful homage to one of Japan’s most famous series of prints, \u003cem data-start=\"8474\" data-end=\"8515\"\u003eThe Fifty‑three Stations of the Tōkaidō\u003c\/em\u003e by Hiroshige. Instead of landscapes and travellers, however, the artist has populated each station with a charming cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a creamy background, dozens of felines lounge, stretch, groom and curl up, each rendered in soft black ink with touches of warm grey. Between the cats are tiny red seals—stylised stamps that evoke the publisher’s marks and poem inscriptions found in traditional ukiyo‑e prints. The overall effect is both busy and soothing: the cats are scattered but not chaotic, their poses varied yet harmonious. Each cat seems to have its own personality. Some gaze out at the viewer with sleepy eyes, others tuck their paws under in that classic loaf position, and still others seem mid‑pounce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you look closer, you’ll notice subtle differences in coat pattern—spots here, stripes there—which adds to the sense that each vignette represents a different stop along the historic Tōkaidō road. There’s a sense of humour at play, too. By replacing human travellers with cats, the artist suggests that the everyday journeys and routines of our feline companions are just as epic and worthy of celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print’s delicate palette means it will suit a variety of interiors. It pairs beautifully with Scandinavian‑inspired decor, where neutral tones and light wood are prominent, but it could also anchor an eclectic gallery wall alongside bolder pieces. This artwork would be perfect in a cosy reading nook, a hallway or any room where you want to invite a smile. It would also make a thoughtful gift for cat lovers or fans of Japanese art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title alone sparks conversation: those familiar with Hiroshige’s series will appreciate the clever twist, while newcomers will simply enjoy the delightful scene. And because the layout invites your eye to wander from cat to cat, it’s the kind of print you’ll find new favourite details in each time you pass by. Put simply, \u003cem data-start=\"10398\" data-end=\"10457\"\u003eCats Suggested as the Fifty‑three Stations of the Tōkaidō\u003c\/em\u003e delivers equal parts sophistication and whimsy, merging cultural homage with feline charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Love \u0026 Paper","offers":[{"title":"21 x 30 cm \/ No Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631405900,"sku":"0043","price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 30 cm \/ Wooden Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631438668,"sku":"0043","price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 30 cm \/ Wooden Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631471436,"sku":"0043","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 30 cm \/ Black Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631504204,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 30 cm \/ Black Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631536972,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 30 cm \/ White Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631569740,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"21 x 30 cm \/ White Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631602508,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 cm \/ No Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631635276,"sku":"0043","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 cm \/ Wooden Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631668044,"sku":"0043","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 cm \/ Wooden Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631700812,"sku":"0043","price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 cm \/ Black Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631733580,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 cm \/ Black Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631766348,"sku":null,"price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 cm \/ White Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631799116,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 cm \/ White Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631831884,"sku":null,"price":159.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ No Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631864652,"sku":"0043","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ Wooden Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631897420,"sku":"0043","price":189.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ Wooden Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631930188,"sku":"0043","price":229.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ Black Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114631962956,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ Black Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114631995724,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ White Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114632028492,"sku":null,"price":189.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 x 70 cm \/ White Frame \/ White Passepartout","offer_id":57114632061260,"sku":null,"price":229.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"70 x 100 cm \/ No Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114632094028,"sku":"0043","price":229.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"70 x 100 cm \/ Wooden Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114632126796,"sku":"0043","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"70 x 100 cm \/ Black Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114632159564,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"70 x 100 cm \/ White Frame \/ No Passepartout","offer_id":57114632192332,"sku":null,"price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5395\/0796\/files\/0043_mkt.jpg?v=1762351780","url":"https:\/\/loveandpaper.es\/pt\/products\/cats-fifty-three-stations-tokaido","provider":"Love \u0026 Paper","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
