The Reach, reaching tuxedo cat

Every Yugen piece is a digital design inspired by sumi-e ink painting, developed with the help of digital and AI tools and finished in the studio. Each one is a print, not a hand-painted original, made to order by JONDO, our print partner, including for UK and EU orders.

8x12 is printed on Fine Art paper only.

A tuxedo cat rises onto its hind legs in this piece from the Zen Cat Series, one paw lifted, fur trailing into mist and a scatter of ink drops on warm cream ground; drawn in loose sumi-e style strokes, it holds a single moment of pure attention, no destination, just instinct and open air, and it settles well into a reading nook, hallway, or any quiet wall where its motion can be noticed slowly.
