Welcome to the gentle and adorable world of Machika the cat and her companions, as drawn by Arisa Shimoda! Machika, Arisa Shimoda's original character, is a mischievous and lively kitten who can be a little clumsy at times. The world woven together by Machika and her companions is filled not only with cuteness but also with warmth. This is a first art book collecting works created using pastel colored pencils and other media. In addition to existing original works, the book also includes new illustrations, pet portraits connected to Machika's companions, and client work. The cover image, "Preparation," is an original piece drawn especially for this book.
