The gaze of a black cat
by Ichiro Yamaguchi,
brought into your home
A black cat is looking quietly back at you. There is something noble in that gaze, and something so endearing it makes you smile.
"kuro neko" is a special blanket that takes black cat art by the painter Ichiro Yamaguchi and weaves it in jacquard. The inspiration was Jiji, the black cat from Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service — a little mischievous, but impossible to dislike. That very cat-like charm is captured in a monotone silhouette.
The relief of the weave gives the cat depth, and its expression shifts with the light. Beside the bed, over the sofa, in a corner of the floor. Spread it next to a cat sunbathing on the balcony, or take it along on a trip or outdoors. Hang it on the wall and it works as a tapestry — a piece of art in its own right.
Laid out or displayed, it opens a kind of artistic breathing room and quietly settles any space.
Pair it with the food bowl and water bowl from the same collaboration with Ichiro Yamaguchi, and a gentle sense of calm and consistency runs through your days with your cat.
The fabric is a cotton and polyester blend — light, breathable and comfortable all year round, and easy enough to wash at home. For interiors, for the outdoors, for everyday life.
A gaze, and a little space around it.
One layer to add quietly to your home
It arrives wrapped in an original box with a black cat postcard, so it gives like a piece of art.
Every time your eyes meet this cat, something in you loosens.
An ordinary moment starts to feel a little special — that is the piece we would like to bring into your home.
