>>5054058What is Japan's history with cats like?
I've an entire folder but most of it is NSFW...
>>5054214From wikipedia:>As early as the Heian period in Japan (794–1185), cats were highly valued and considered rare treasures, often exchanged among the upper class as luxury items akin to precious jewels. Ownership of cats was primarily restricted to the emperor and the nobility, with records indicating that some aristocrats even bestowed court ranks upon them. In 889 Emperor Uda documented in his diary Kanpyō Gyoki the gift of a kitten he had received. He described the cat's deep ink-colored fur and meticulously noted its behaviors, such as its tendency to curl into a circle when resting and its hunting practices.The emperor was so captivated by the kitten that he compared its cries to those of a black dragon, reflecting the deep affection and admiration he had for his pet. These writings provide insight into the esteem in which cats were held during this era.

>>5054248I noticed alot of the cats in that pic had short tails and wondered if that was surgical, but it looks like they just had a bunch of bobtail cats.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Bobtail
>>5056206he doesn't know
>>5056206that's a proper "ermine", which is what all the white, royal robes with little black dots on them are made from. Their basically white, snow ferrets with a tiny black tip on the end of their tales. Sadly, it would take like 100 to make one coat for one asshole, but I think their populations are strong now. I forget the exact story behind this painting, but she was some sort of slutty noble and the white ermine was meant to represent her affair with some big time douchebag.
>>5056217 a murder of crows.....
>>5056242Japanese racoon(tanuki) with giant balls and scrot.....classic. You'll see these drawings all over Japan to this day. They can use their scrotums for all kinds of funny stuff.

>>5054058Fucking snail. Fuck you. I fucking hate you. I curse you and your descendants you bastard!
>>5054248>On the 6th Day of the 2nd Month of the First Year of the Kampo era. Taking a moment of my free time, I wish to express my joy of the cat. It arrived by boat as a gift to the late Emperor, received from the hands of Minamoto no Kuwashi.>The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink. It has an air about it, similar to Kanno. Its length is 5 sun, and its height is 6 sun. I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.>In rebellion, it narrows its eyes and extends its needles. It shows its back.>When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk. When it stands, its cry expresses profound loneliness, like a black dragon floating above the clouds.>By nature, it likes to stalk birds. It lowers its head and works its tail. It can extend its spine to raise its height by at least 2 sun. Its color allows it to disappear at night. >I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.Note that given the measurements he's using he's talking about a kitten, probably about the size of pic related.
>>5057340>Mfw I will never be at a naked wine hangout with eagles
>>5057341eagle is like "oh, really?! tell me more"
>>5054186One hell of a discussion going on here
>>5056206It can be bothThere's what looks to be a wood block print of a man and foxes at a picnic. I believe there were two panels, one was the man's illusion, and the other was NSFW, with foxes off to the side stealing his food/fishSpeaking of, does anyone know the artist of what I'm talking about? I have the image partly blurred and maybe uploadable, but image search isn't helping me.
