Welcome to the world of the travel cats by artist Mari Ichimasu. Each cat, tenderly brought to life through delicate watercolor, holds its own story and meets your gaze with a quiet, yet profound presence. Viola heads north with her binoculars, seeking the whales' songs. Maka walks barefoot, guitar and a bottle of beer tucked in her pack, the island wind brushing past her. Jake, wrapped in a thick sweater, scarf, and snowshoes, heads into the snowy wilderness. These finely detailed painted journeys, accompanied by simple, sweet poems, carry the heart through a tranquil, meditative world. In this new edition, three new traveling cats join the adventure, setting off on a new beginning.
