Fashionable Cats Performing Temari Tricks / Utagawa Kuniyoshi
This artwork by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a known cat lover, depicts anthropomorphized cats reenacting the performances of the famous Edo-era acrobat Kikugawa Kunimaru. The playful scenes include tricks such as "Yaezakura," where a ball (temari) moves skillfully across a cat's body, and "Rangui Watari," where a cat gracefully kicks a ball while crossing stakes.
About Temari (Decorative Balls):
In Japanese tradition, temari (decorative balls) are imbued with wishes for children to grow up healthy and happy, symbolized by their round shape. They also represent harmonious relationships, such as family unity and marital bliss. Additionally, temari hold the meaning of "bringing things full circle," embodying wishes for a happy and fulfilling life. It was once customary to include temari in a bride's dowry as a symbol of good fortune and harmony.
