For those who love books focusing on cats, here is a nice title: A Cat of architecture, Hiroshi Mori (lyrics) and Makoto Sakuma (drawings). Since Japanese is a volume you will find it s the hardest, but the text is bilingual (Japanese / English) will allow you to fully enjoy. This is a volume with full-page illustrations, accompanied by a short text. In an unspecified city, reminiscent of a European capital a decade ago, a cat watches the world around him and reflected on the meaning of things, forms and functions. Precisely because of this tendency is considered an "architect" and comes to some interesting reflections very feline. For example, nature has an "inside" and an "outside". "Inside" is always warm and never rains, and "outside" temperature and weather conditions change. Note also that some things are moving and not others, while some have lost their original function (like an old train) yet they continue to exist and have their own charm, something that seems to have heard the call "beauty." But what is "beauty"? Here's another question to which the cat must be answered. And to find this beauty, no one has ever been able to touch or lick, is haunting old buildings, picturesque alleys, train stations, citizens from the corners of muted hues, rich in detail, covered with snow or kissed by moonlight, where other cats are intent to observe, smell, sleep or are busy other matters feline. His search for "beauty" is transformed into life drawing and enchants us as his footprints in the snow, and finally for a moment we see the world through the eyes of a cat.
