In 1977, Masahisa Fukase turned his lens toward his cat, Sasuke, spending a year 'crawling on my stomach to be at eye level with a cat and, in a way, that made me a cat'. A year later, he acquired a second cat, Momoe. Featuring tipped-on cover images, this gorgeously made book is arranged in four chapters, organised around the timeline of Fukase’s life with his cats. As so often in his work, these tender images also express the photographer’s subjectivity and his connection to his subject.
