If this artist had done anatomical drawings of cats the way Leonardo
did studies of human anatomy could those drawings also be art?
My reaction to the print is positive but I have to agree that there
are much better Japanese prints than that one.

Or, does everyone concur with William: "That's gotta be the worst
Japanese
print I've ever seen, by far, far, far." ?
If so --- why ? Can anyone attempt to explain such a judgment ?
The artist, Yumeji Takehisa, seems to be both highly skilled as well
as
innovative (i.e. he came way before Gary Trudeau) -- and we have an
image
that others, like myself, may rate as much better:

Why is that girl with the Gary Trudeau eyes so much worse ?
Such an explanation, whatever it might be, would be very important
to the
study of aesthetics -- would it not ?
