Essential for getting through the severe winters of Japan's mountainous regions, the kotatsu is a kind of heated table, with a quilt to contain the feet. It's not surprising that the cats love it!

Fujishiro Seiji
Born in 1924, Fujishiro has had a long and productive career as an illustrator - producing many children's books, and creating his own brand of fantasy along the way. From an early involvement with shadow puppetry, he developed his own unique style: he calls these kage-e (literally "shadow pictures"), but his is a backlit world not of black and white (or grey), but of wonderful translucent colours, apparently made mostly from tissue paper.
He is still active at the age of 80, and his work has appeared all over the world, most recently (February 2005) in New York and Washington.
Newsflash (Feb 2005)
Here's a review of his show at the Japan Information and Culture Center in Washington DC: "Symphony of Light and Shadow" (from the Washington Post).
Note: The translations of titles are mine.
