1863 Japanese Cat Monster Ukiyoe Color Seven Manifestations of Golden Flower A rare, 19th century Japanese woodblock print of Kinka shichi henge (Seven Manifestations of the Golden Flower) is a ukiyo-e graphic novel about a cat monster. According to Japanese folklore, a cat that has lived for a long time can become a kind of supernatural monster or yokai called a fork-tailed cat, nekomata. It was believed that after a cat reached ten years of age, its tail would slowly split into two tails, and it would develop magical powers. Nekomata can shape-shift into human form and are generally hostile to people. This rare, collection is written in a column woodblock print format with furigana for easier reading with illustrations throughout and color illustrations on the cover.
