Cover of "A Little Crazy For Cats" ("Chotto Neko Boke")
Mitsuaki Iwagō (岩合 光昭 Iwagō Mitsuaki) might not ring a bell with you unless you’re familiar with Japan or wildlife photography. Mr. Iwagō is a well renowned wildlife photographer and filmmaker, and his photos have been featured on National Geographic’s covers and in their list of “100 Best Wildlife Pictures” (here’s a one of his famous photos, of a lioness and her cub, and another one of a Masai man with his herd).
He has published several photo books, one of the most popular being “Iwago’s Love for Cats” – so popular that now our partner Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd (Japan’s largest printing company) together with Shogakukan have released an iPad version of the book. The only downside is that it’s in Japanese, so to fully understand it and why the theme of the book is “let the cats heal the hearts of people” you will have to know Japanese. The rest of us are confined to looking at mr. Iwagō’s beautiful photos.
