Sleep in Heavenly Peace

 From the 'Animals in Art Through History' FB page:

Tokuhiro Kawai’s “Ode to Sleep,” 2025, oil tempera and gold leaf on panel
The work is part of his solo exhibition "Altarpiece of Cat Adoration."
Kawai used the style of early Renaissance religious altarpieces to celebrate cats, reflecting his deep empathy as a cat lover.
The artist uses cats, who have been his lifelong companions, to explore universal themes such as connection, peace, and empathy that transcend ideological and racial divides in the modern world.
