Synopsis
The first spring breeze arrives,
and the new year kicks off with the "Nekomata Carnival" on February 22nd.
Mr. Nekomata is a little worried that his pregnant wife, Mrs. Nekomata, is having too much fun,
after all, the couple will soon become parents...
 
When the flowers are in full bloom,
why not go out for a picnic?
The Nekomata family comes to the shrine to worship,
reporting to the gods that five little Nekomata have been born safely.
 
The rainy season has been going on for a while,
and the "Fur Clothing Store" on the street is doing a booming business,
it turns out to be time for "seasonal fur change",
will the five little Nekomata change their fur clothing themselves?
 
The joy of the new year, the fun of festivals, the brilliant moments of enrollment and graduation, and the subtle changes of the seasons... Ayako Ishiguro, a famous Japanese painter, leads us to view the human year through the eyes of cat yokai, as if imbuing every seasonal festival with the most profound sense of ritual.
 
The images also hide all sorts of small surprises ── the clumsy little cat yokai who always drops things, the cat girl who confesses her love on "Cat Valentine's Day", and the idol-level sumo wrestler "Miyama". Have you found them all?
