No, that is not a giant cat, it is a regular-sized cat on perfectly scaled miniature Japanese furniture, and it’s making my day!
This cat-sized furniture was created by furniture manufacturers from Okawa City in Fukuoka prefecture in Japan, one of Japan’s primary furniture producing cities. These mini recreations of regular scale furniture were designed with felines in mind as part of a campaign promoting the city’s traditional furniture making craft.
The tiny sofa was made by Hiromatsu Furniture and the bed by Tateno Mokuzai.
You can see some very lucky cats enjoying the furniture in this lovely video:
More info about the neko project on the Okawa Kagu website.
A dear friend of mine is from Fukuoka and she loves cats. I’ll share this with her. Wouldn’t it be great to have all of this furniture?
The cat in the video looks quite frightened, which is a bit disturbing. But the furniture is very beautiful.
Sooooo
Agree!!!
This is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. Which cat wouldn’t want a set? Love it 😸
Beautiful furniture!
Wish we had this here!😼 I would buy it in a heartbeat.
It’s very cute furniture. Who wouldn’t (Cat or Cat mom/dad) want to have all that great stuff? The babies expect to be spoiled & we certainly can’t let them down. 😉 I can only imagine what something like that would cost let alone to have it shipped here! 🙀
Very cute indeed!
I collect miniature furniture in scale 1:12. When I was in Tokyo several years ago, I acquired furniture that scale; it was made for offerings in many different sizes unfortunately none as large as cats. With my cats I can only display my collections in glass houses made for terrariums which they look at with interest!
I would love to have the cat sized furniture in your display for my cats. They adore the lounges and sofas made in the US, but I know they would love furniture from other countries as well.
Hope you are doing well. Thanks for the interesting info from Japan!
Very nice idea!
But please, make something about the catmodell: something is making him very scare. Maybe is a shy cat or the camera too big? 😱🙀🙀
OMG THAT IS TOO ADORABLE!!!!!! LOVE IT!!
This is so on trend! I blogged about vintage black cat photography today. I wish someone would manufacture the giant cat chair. If could easily be modified for today’s market. Dm me if interested.
Love it. Where can I buy?
The website is in Japanese so isn’t much help.
