Where can I find Tetsuya Noguchi's Chakukabuto warrior cat?

August 4, 2015 12:16 PM

I have stumbled upon an awesome poster, but most info is in Japanese. I would like to know if anyone knows where I can but a printout or lithograph of this poster. The poster in question is this one. From what I have managed to deduce it is actually a modern painting (judging by this article), so I figured that maybe it is available somewhere, but does anyone know?

Best answer: I'm aware that you'd like to purchase a copy and I wish you luck finding one, but there is a large format JPG online that would at least make a good small print if you don't manage to find one.

Response by poster: Thanks jessamyn! That image is over 230 ppi on a A3 size print, good enough for something to be viewed at some distance.

Thank you blob, I will send an email and update if/when I get an answer!

Response by poster: I received an answer today. I answered and sent a thank you, but did not ask for how long in the future that might be.

Dear Mr. Niklas,

Thank you very much for your inquiry about Tetsuya NOGUCHIS's work.
Unfortunately, He have not made print nor lithograph of "Cat warrior".
But we will talk to Mr. Noguchi about your e-mail.
He may make any work by print in future.

I will keep in touch with you.

Best regards
