Land of the Rising Cat: Japan's Feline Fascination

It's perfectly normal in Japan to find cats in coffee shops, museums, hotel lobbies, being taken for stroller rides, or hard at work in jobs like stationmasters at train stations. But where did the Japanese cat mania come from? Why does it keep growing? This tip-to-tail treatise tells you everything about cat culture in Japan, with amazing and adorable photographs and interviews with fashion designers and architects, overviews of cat shrines and festivals, and kitty-centric comics, social media, and more.
