The colouring of this Baroque cat by Franz Anton Bustelli has nothing to do with the mentality of the followers of the ‘68 generation. The cheekily shaded tufts of hair in hand-polished gold and black reveal rather that this particular kitty is something special: a tortoise-shell cat in three classical colours. But in Japan in particular, the importance of the cat is much more far-reaching: There it is a symbol of good luck which keeps house, garden and resident safe from fire and misfortune. And it may have been precisely this which impressed Bustelli so much.
