Japan Pop-Up Book Summary

Japan Pop-Up Book: The Comic Adventures of Neko the Cat by Sam Ita

Take an exciting manga pop-up journey across Japan with Chico and Neko the Cat!

Pick up where Tokyo Pop-Up Book left off, as Chico and his mischievous cat Neko visit Japan's most famous landmarks. The chase is on as naughty Neko slips away yet again--this time becoming a stowaway on a Japanese bullet train!

Using his phone to track his runaway cat, Chico follows Neko to some of Japan's most iconic places:
  • Mt. Fuji and the Big Buddha at Kamakura
  • Serene Kinkaku-ji, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion
  • Himeji Castle, an ancient Samurai fortress with its formidable stone ramparts
  • A sushi train restaurant, where an endless parade of fish is truly a cat's dream!
  • The Children's Peace Memorial in Hiroshima, where Chico pauses to reflect
  • The famous floating Torii gate at Itsukushima
  • Cat Island (Tashirojima), where Neko finds a few new friends and the adventure comes to a happy conclusion!

Educational and entertaining in equal measure, this exciting manga pop-up book will be treasured by readers of all ages.

Japan Pop-Up Book Reviews

Praise for Tokyo Pop-Up Book by Sam Ita:
Yet again, Sam Ita takes the pop-up book genre to a new dimension! His skillful blend of graphic story-telling and paper engineering makes Tokyo Pop-Up Book his most innovative and playful book yet. --Matthew Reinhart, author of Cinderella: A Pop-Up Fairy Tale and Star Wars: A Galactic Pop-Up Adventure

...the coolest book ever...Each full-page spread that follows shows a typical scene from Tokyo...from bright lights, to temples, a sumo match, train station, onsen, and more...Sam Ita has done a very good job with the Tokyo Pop-Up Book, indeed, he is a paper engineer to design all the details and have so many pop-up elements on each page that truly shows Tokyo at its finest. --Castle View Academy blog

If you enjoy pop-up books, you will love the scenes in this book. I was very impressed with the details and the vibrant scenes on each page. Plus, there are so many things to see throughout the book that it really is so much more than a book to read. --In Our Spare Time blog

The majority of the pages are edge-to-edge, filled with art, pop-ups, and Neko the Cat. It is fun to keep up with the adventure and sit here looking at the pop-ups to see what is happening in the scene taking place. --TheDailyFandom.com
