Stone Cats

by Yoshimi Nagata

Peering out from the shade of a bamboo grove, perched on a post in a field, or lolling lazily across a lintel, Nagata's stone cats can be as entertaining as the furry felines who share our homes.... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Fabulous Cats

I wish it were possible to convey how much enjoyment this little book of cats painted on river rocks has given me. I have even tried painting a few cats of my own. What sheer delight! Thank you, Mr. Nagata, for all the pleasure you have given me.

Exquisite color photos of handpainted stone cats.

This is a short book, only 46 pages, but is packed with excellent color photos of stone cats created by artist Nagata Yoshimi. The cats are actually river stones that have been painted to look like cats. The photos are just as beautiful as the cats themselves, showing everything from a rock concert (cat playing to other stone cats), cats hiding in the leaves, a white cat nestled amid flowering clover, dozing cats, and lots of other delightful photos. At the end of the book is a step-by-step tutorial, showing you how to make your own stone cats
