Though the total book is held together by the continuing theme of a nameless cat's observations on upper middle-class Japanese society of the Meiji era, its essence is in the humor and thesardonic truth of these various observations
Japanese classic written from the point of view of a wisecracking cat, full of wry observations. An imported book with a different cover, purchased overseas. In English, of course. Cat lovers will like it, as well as those interested in Japanese society.
