[CAT PRIN]
Hi, hello!
Welcome.
My name is Takako Iwasa.
I am an artist and designer, creating clothes for cats.
It's called "Cat Prin: Cat's Clothing Store."
I draw whatever images I receive here.
After a year or so, they get made into outfits,
and I am always extremely surprised by this.
This sketch is this one here.
[Prin!] - Hello! I am Prin!
Hello!
Welcome!
Welcome!
I'm Prin, the Queen.
Prin is nine years old.
Prin started getting lonely when she was alone at age three,
so I searched for a little brother for her, and that's how Kotaro came to our house.
[Kotaro!] Hi! Hi! I'm Kotaro.
Hello New York!
No, no, no, no.
They first met each other here in this house.
Prin has never welcomed any other cats into the house.
She never approves of them.
But no matter how much Prin intimidated Kotaro, even if she vindictively hissed at him,
Kotaro stuck by her side,
following Prin wherever she went from the very day they met.
And within a matter of a few minutes, Prin accepted him.
There wasn't a single cat that got along with Prin until him.
Prin licked him right away.
Most of the clothes are created from ideas that came from
a world apart from our dimensional reality.
I get images of the designs in my head.
But, actually, these images, or my inspirations, aren't really mine.
They seem to come from a different dimensional world as images.
My duty is to materialize these received images into three dimensional objects.
It's something no one has ever done before,
but I knew I had to do it, since it was a suggestion from heaven.
So I took a plunge and started a clothing line.
Are the clothes all handmade?
Yes, they are.
Each one of them is hand sewn very carefully.
How many have you made so far?
I can't fathom the number...
I don't know...
So there must be an infinite number of them.
I have no idea...Perhaps 10,000 items...
This is Princess Prin.
The way she crosses her paws is adorable.
She is consciously posing.
Not many could do this...
Normally, it's impossible.
Prin-chan is a white female Scottish Fold.
Scottish Folds are cats that have folded ears,
and it's very rare to come across a white one.
There is a magazine called "Cat's Magazine" in Japan.
One day, when I was reading it,
I found a single sentence that read: "A white angel is born."
I knew instantly that she was the one.
Kotaro doesn't notice the camera.
I threw a toy in the air
and took a picture right as it was coming down.
He doesn't think this is his job,
it's just play for him.
Kotaro could be a girl too!
Hi!
This is the hardest one to put on a cat.
How should I say this...
He's very childish. He's like an adorable child.
He looks great in interesting outfits like 'cosplay' outfits.
Prin-chan is a queen, so elegant clothes suit her best.
Like a queen, she's very confident of herself.
She doesn't act much like a cat, really.
She has a very strong opinion.
This is one of our popular rabbit costumes.
A man asked if I could make one for him, too,
but I couldn't do it.
I don't make them for people.
I'm only designing these to make her prettier. So this is really all for her.
