In 1977, Masahisa Fukase turned his lens toward a new companion: his cat, Sasuke. Fascinated by the creature, Fukase famously crawled on his stomach to photograph the world from a cat’s eye level. This volume, compiled by Tomo Kosuga from the artist’s archives, presents a tender and joyful portrait of cat companionship. Divided into four chapters, it follows the life of Sasuke (and later Momoe), exploring themes of attachment and projection. Fukase famously stated that these works were a form of self-portraiture, where he adopted the feline form to express his own subjectivity after the departure of his wife.
