WABI-SABI CATS

The Wabi-Sabi Cat is an original creation by Erynn Chiemi Tanimoto at the age of 13. Since then, the series has expanded to 9 designs, with more to come!

Life is Wabi-Sabi

Even the Wabi-Sabi Cat knows that life’s not purr-fect. Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese view of life that finds beauty in things that are simple, humble, unrefined, and impermanent. Embrace this concept, and find joy in life’s imperfections.

Our “Wabi-Sabi Cat” designs are created and assembled here at our studio in Hilo,
Hawaii. They are either printed on handmade paper or premium quality photo paper.
Each artwork is custom framed in-house, protected with plexiglass, and ready for
hanging.

Be on the lookout for new Wabi-Sabi Cat designs in the near future!

NEW! Sakura Night Cat
Sakura Cat

Sakura, The Sakura or Cherry Blossom represents the beginning of spring. It is a symbol of good fortune, love, affection, and happiness. Cherry blossoms are also an enduring metaphor for the fleeting nature of life. The short blooming season inevitably ends with the beautiful flowers falling to the ground.

NEW! Ichigo Ichie Cat
Sakura Cat

Ichigo Ichie, This Japanese phrase literally means “each moment, only once”, or cherish each moment and encounter, for it will never happen again. It reminds us how delicate and fragile life is, for every meeting with someone is a chance occurrence never again to be repeated.
