@dryarchive: Namennayo, also known as Nameneko, is a brand of cat photography founded in the early 1980s by Japanese photographer, Satoru Tsuda. Tsuda's photographs feature living cats dressed in miniature clothing and arranged in adorable cat-sized dioramas. The first Namennayo pictures showed the kittens participating in typical juvenile delinquent behavior, including smoking in school bathrooms, rolling out in motorcycle gangs, and playing in high-stakes battle of the bands tournaments. The kittens were modeled after typical teenage rebels and the name "Namenayo" means "Don't lick me!" But can be taken to mean "don't mess with me!" #cats #japanese #photography #art #artist #cosplay #fypシ #viral #trending

Makes me think of the work of Harry Whittier Frees from the early 1900s, but in color.

I had books as a kid with pictures like this but less rebellious. Did my mom introduce me to Japanese culture? I always assumed Godzilla was my intro to Japanese “art,” guess I was wrong lol
