The Many Faces of Tokyo’s Stray Cats
The following photos are a part of a photographs series by a Japanese photographer called Masayuki Oki. With his pictures, the man is trying to show an unseen world of Tokyo, a vibrant world that is populated by stray cats. He has called his collection as Busayan. The literal meaning of the name is “ugly cat.” Even though the name doesn’t signify a positive meaning, yet the photographer feels nothing but affection for his muses.
