 Togyū Okumura (1889-1990)
 

A characteristic of his work is the exquisite color achieved by applying approximately 100 coats of paint with a brush. 

In this work, the cat sitting on a dark red cushion attracts the viewer's attention with its pale fur. Rather than using colorful colors, the simple drawing style is realistic and attractive.
