Black and white, dignified and relaxed—ado's new works are released simultaneously. Cats with different expressions are depicted in calm, Japanese painting-like tones. Amidst their cuteness, there is a quiet elegance, and the more you gaze at them, the more you are drawn into their charm. These are ado's unique paintings of adult cats, which deepen in flavor the more you display and admire them.
