Cat’s Meow by Chiaki Sakamoto tells the story of a cat and its owner. The story is told in the voice of the cat.
‘Hey, I’ve woken up. I’m not sleepy at all. Play with me. If you don’t… I’ll take all your favorite things and rip them to shreds… I’ll help myself to the cat food…’
This beautiful little book was illustrated with a particular printing technique, giving it a beautiful, deep range of colour. The translation is printed on an insert folded into the book. A wonderful aspect of this project was getting the chance to communicate directly with the author while creating the translation of the text and an informational sheet, which details the art process of the work. Published in 2022 in English, the work is available exclusively from the 50 Watts website.
