Letterpress Postcard – Cat Tobacco Shop

The illustration portrays an advertisement flyer of an imaginary tobacco shop that only services cats. Recently, more and more cats are starting to fall in love with cigarettes. The two most popular cigarette brands among cats are “Golden Cat” and “Matata B”, and please feel free to visit this store!  About Kyupodo: Utilizing the excellent paper and bookbinding skills of LIFE, the Kyupodo brand describes themselves as being “a little strange” and offers a more whimsical take on quality stationery. What started as a post-retirement hobby to transcribe his autobiography and travel journals with letterpress printing turned into a successful letterpress print shop for founder Katsuro Sakai. Today, his grandson Souhei Sakai runs Kyupodo and enjoys incorporating fantasies and story telling into each of these unique stationery items.
