This sculptural wall piece features a recumbent cat in cast bronze, nestled before a delicately rendered relief of traditional Nikko architecture—including tiered pagodas and temple gables—evocative of Japan’s historic Shinto and Buddhist heritage. Mounted on a rectangular wooden panel with incised textures and gestural paint splashes, the composition marries tactile realism with modern abstraction. The inscription “Nikko” etched beside the cat’s paw anchors the piece geographically and thematically, celebrating both feline serenity and regional pride. This fusion of natural subject, local iconography, and mixed media reflects Japan’s evolving artistic sensibilities.
