Sleeping cat sculpture, ivory, Japan, mid-late 19th century AD

UGH when is the Japanese art collection at LACMA going to reopen!! Its netsuke collection is amazing and I don’t think any of it has been on display for like 6 years now due to a museum remodel 😭

That’s not a cat. That’s clearly a Scamorza cheese.

Took me a while to not see a beaver.
