The Craft of the Book
We seek out writers and books worthy of publication. We are not concerned with the number of titles, but with the quality of what we publish, and we work on each text until we are satisfied with it.
We take care with translation, editing, design, and printing, down to the finest details of paper, colors, and binding.
For us, publishing means polishing a manuscript until it comes close to perfection.
We strive for creativity, innovation, and uniqueness, and to design books that retain their value over time.
Cats in Wonderland
By Miss Cat
At midnight, a mysterious air settles over the reading room,
and the pages of the books turn by themselves,
revealing magical doors that lead to countless worlds.
Cross over, then cross again, and cross once more,
and discover tales, history, and legends through the eyes of cats.
Travel to ancient Egypt, where cats whisper the secrets of the pyramids
and slip through the hidden passages of tombs filled with treasure.
Journey on to the Great Desert in search of the softest sand a cat could wish for.
Then reflect on the meaning of feline life at the Philosophy Café, the most sacred place for contemplation.
Let the chapters of the cats lead you on adventures
through enchanting imaginary worlds beyond anything you can picture.
And after all these adventures, return home and sink into a deep nap,
to wake up ready for a new adventure.
Cats of the Floating World
By Miss Cat
An illustrated book that blends the magic of cats with the traditional Japanese art of ukiyo-e.
This art, famous in the Edo period for its colorful woodblock prints, depicts everyday life with vitality and beauty, forming an ideal backdrop for the cats' playful tales across the four seasons.
Miss Cat, a writer about pets and an award-winning cartoonist, brings emotional and artistic depth to this work, giving it inspiring illustrations full of imagination and knowledge that take the reader on a journey into a magical world where the ordinary meets the legendary.
The appeal of Cats of the Floating World lies not only in its visual beauty but also in its universal character, making it a delight for adults and children alike, and a window onto a world where traditional art meets the magic of cats.
