Imagine having one foot firmly in the modern world and the other planted deep in the realm of folklore and fantasy. A precious pet cat always by your side. Or in your arms...

That’s sort of how we'd describe Poshichi Rou. The Japanese artist is known for blending ancient techniques with a contemporary twist to create beautiful pieces that feel both timeless and otherworldly. Their work has a quiet magic about it. But this wasn't always the case.

There was a time when Poshichi's paintings were filled with gloom, reflecting the way the artist felt about life and art. It was only when they adopted a cat two years ago that things changed for the better. Moments of joy made it onto canvas, and the artist's true light began to shine.

Bored Panda has put together a compilation of our favorite of Poshichi's pieces for you to admire while you dream of faraway, ancient lands and dainty paws. We also explore the inspiration behind this artist's work. You'll find that info between the images.
