Set against a heavily textured background, the head of a cat stands out; its features are rendered in a somewhat naive style that contrasts with the muted colors. Given the animal's somewhat dramatic expression, it resembles a mask more than anything else.
Kugimiya’s painting is characterized by bold, energetic brushstrokes and the presence of animals—typically felines, which also feature as the protagonists of his animated works.
