Onomichi City Museum of Art has highlighted a past exhibition titled ‘Cats Who Leapt Through Time,’ which was held on August 4-5, 2018. The museum’s social post paired the title with the Japanese phrase 時をかける猫ねこ119 and an image caption that referenced two cats, Ken and Go, appearing on alternate days.
The museum’s post, shared through its account, framed the reminder as a look back at an event that brought cat-themed imagery into the museum’s programming. The original text does not identify a larger exhibition series, curator, or exhibition theme beyond the title and the short caption, but it does make clear that the event was associated with the museum and took place over two days.
The title ‘Cats Who Leapt Through Time’ gives the exhibition a playful tone, and the post’s wording suggests a focus on the presence of the animals themselves rather than a detailed interpretive statement. The reference to Ken and Go indicates that different cats visited on different days, with the museum noting that they came by in turns during the exhibition period.
The museum is based in Onomichi, Japan, and the post was tagged with the city and the museum’s name in Japanese. Beyond that context, the verified source material does not provide information about the artists, artworks, or the installation format, so those details are not included here.
The event dates are confirmed as August 4-5, 2018, at Onomichi City Museum of Art in Onomichi, Japan. The museum’s post also included the hashtag for cats and an image link, reinforcing the informal, animal-focused tone of the announcement while leaving the exhibition’s wider program details unspecified.
