Prestel is one of the world’s leading illustrated book publishers in art, architecture, photography and design.
“Land of the Rising Cat: Japan’s Feline Fascination” is a lively exploration into Japanese cat culture by journalist, Manami Okazaki.
My photograph was used to illustrate a section in the book on Nekogami Jinja, a shrine dedicated to cats in Kagoshima, Japan.
"They were kept as purring timepieces, as the general could apparently tell the time from the way the pupils of the cats' eyes would dilate according to the hour of the day." - Manami Okazaki, Land of the Rising Cat
