Notes: Ay-O’s cat prints are particularly special & sought after pieces today. Another fun piece produced ten years after his earlier & successful 1978 feline works: ねこ (Cat)(#341-A), “あくび (Yawn)(#342.), & “叫び”(Scream)(#344.). Entitled モナミ (Monami) - Ay-O has likely titled this piece from the French “Mon ami/My Friend”. Ay-O was convinced by friends to produce some of these prints in a larger edition of /500 given many peoples’ affection for the animal.
