"Cats Hong Kong" painting, as its name suggests, is an ukiyo-e of cats living in Hong Kong.
The five protagonist cats that appear in it are all street cats that I have been taking care of and lived with for a long time.
For this fantasy world they created, they hope to move to Hong Kong while
They can bring their pure hearts to Hong Kong to make this place more lovely.

They use Octopus as we usually do, eat in tea restaurants, or drink in cafes.
However, the world of cats may be a little simpler.
As long as they can do what they like, they are content.
When family and friends encounter difficulties, they will share it from the bottom of their hearts.
On sunny days, I know how to be grateful for the warmth of the sun. I curl up into a ball in my sleep and look forward to the new day.

Knowing how to live a simple and satisfying life is "Cat Hong Kong".
Perhaps from the eyes of cats, we can also find our own little happiness.
I also hope that this kind of simple happiness can be delivered to every corner of Hong Kong.
