To show off the high-quality craftsmanship that is celebrated in Okawa in Japan's Fukuoka Prefecture, which is where many furniture manufacturers are located, Okawa City launched a unique campaign centered around cats.
To draw the eyes of Internet users to the finely crafted furniture pieces that are made in the region, Okawa City had furniture makers from the region put together small-scale cat furniture pieces. The campaign shows cats lounging on tiny couches and beds that are built perfectly to-scale.
Outside of the video content it created, Okawa City also put together a few special webpages that provide more detail about the Feline Sofa and Cat Bed, plus a few production secrets. It also describes that "Okawa furniture will respond to any request and any request."
