Japanese Artist Wakuneco Crafts Busts of Cats for Grieving Owners

— August 17, 2018 — Lifestyle
Pets are often regarded as close family members and Wakuneco will help ensure they're always remembered with realistic 3D cat portraits. Designed by a Japanese artist, these pieces utilize felt and realistic-looking materials to create incredible portraits of the owner's adorable pets.

The realistic 3D cat portraits are currently represented as framed busts and are constructed based on photographs provided by the owner. The service isn't necessarily geared towards owners who have lost their cat, but Wakuneco has explained that this form of artwork can serve as a great coping tool to get over a loss.

Wakuneco's realistic 3D cat portraits are currently available through Yahoo Auction and only to customers in Japan. However, Wakuneco has expressed interest in expanding to an international market in the future.
