520    "An irresistibly cute and colourful celebration of Japan's
       thriving cat culture Before Hello Kitty rocketed to fame 
       in the United States and around the world, she was a shoo-
       in for stardom in a country famous for its feline love 
       affair: Japan. From cat cafes to "cat islands," all of 
       Japan's furry friends take the spotlight in Catland. 
       Picturesque city streets, shop windows, temples, and more 
       are the stage for cats across the country. But Sarah 
       Archer will also take readers behind the scenes of this 
       phenomenon. With charming storytelling, Catland explores 
       both the past and present of Japan's affinity for cats. 
       Archer transports readers to modern workshops where the 
       Japanese carefully craft traditionally woven cat beds, 
       "beckoning cat" statues, and cat clothing. With adorable 
       illustrations and photographs, this book is just as 
       irresistibly cute as its subjects-the perfect gift for the
       cat lover in your life".
