DESCRIPTION:From the <a href="http://www.japansociety.org/event/life-of-cat
 s-selections-from-the-hiraki-ukiyo-e-collection" target="_blank">Japan Soc
 iety website</a> :\n\nSince arriving in Japan aboard Japanese ships transp
 orting sacred   Buddhist scriptures from China in the mid-sixth century\, 
 cats have  proceeded to purr and paw their way into the heart of Japanese 
 life\,  folklore\, and art. <em>Life of Cats: Selections from the Hiraki U
 kiyo-e Collection</em> illustrates the depth of this mutual attraction by 
 mining the wealth of  bravura depictions of cats to be found in ukiyo-e wo
 odblock prints of  the Edo Period (1615-1867). The exhibition is divided i
 nto five  sections: Cats and People\, Cats as People\, Cats versus People\
 , Cats  Transformed and Cats and Play. 90 ukiyo-e prints in the exhibition
  are  on loan from the esteemed Hiraki Ukiyo-e Foundation whose holdings a
 re  revered in Japan. Select prints\, paintings\, sculptures\, and other w
 orks  borrowed from U.S. collections complement these prints\, making the 
  exhibition over 120 artworks. With cross-cultural and multi-generational 
  appeal\, <em>Life of Cats </em> takes viewers on a wild ride through Japa
 n’s love affair with our feline friends.\n \n <em>Roughly 50 items will 
 be replaced with new works halfway through </em> Life of Cats<em>—Rotati
 on 1 will be on view from March 13 until April 26\; Rotation 2 will be on 
 view from April 29 until June 7.</em>\n<a href="http://www.japansociety.or
