A wide wood-mounted rubber stamp of a plump black-and-white cat sprawled front-first over a cushion, back legs stretched out behind it. The drawing is clean open line art with just a few solid black patches, so the print stays crisp and leaves plenty of white space to color in with pencils or markers.
The long horizontal shape suits journal spreads, letters and envelopes, bookmarks, gift tags, and cards for cat people. Leave room above the cat and add a stamped or hand-drawn speech bubble to turn it into a caption.
Designed by Kodomo no Kao, a Japanese stamp maker with a long history of illustrated wood-mounted rubber stamps for journaling and correspondence. Their designs are a mainstay of Japanese stationery shops and are collected worldwide for their hand-drawn character work.
