Toko Cat Silk Neckerchief

The Artist Ōide Tōkō (Japanese, 1841–1905) Worked In Tokyo During A Period When Japanese Artists Were Actively Engaging With Western Styles. In His Arresting Artwork, Cat Watching A Spider (Ca. 1888–1912), Tōkō Used Ink To Render The Individual Strands Of Fur In Delicate Strokes, And Then Used Washes For The Solid Fields Of Color In The Feline’S Body And The Painting’S Background. Our Silk Twill Neckerchief Features The Mischievous Cat From This Delightful Painting In The Met Collection.
