Japanese Cat from Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Buy this Spooky Japanese Cat shirt based on Kuniyoshi's Japanese classic The Origin Story of the Cat Stone at Okabe with HD art from Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. About the art: A group of travellers on the Tokaid highway finds lodging for the night at a ruined temple inhabited only by a peculiar old woman who wears the long, loose hair and multi-layered robes of a court lady. But when she bends over an oil lamp, the shadow on the paper shade reveals her true nature: she is a nekomata, a cat monster, who cannot resist licking the oil in the lamp. Her secret revealed, she turns into a giant cat and devours some of the travelers, but is eventually defeated by the survivors and turns into a large rock.
