Thanks to over 10,000 signatures we collected here at change.org, "Shibuya Neko Hariko" and its ownership have been finally returned from Mitsui Fudosan Co., Ltd., to the author, Akira Yoshida on the 12th of April, 2023.
We couldn't have achieved this without your signatures and truly appreciate your support to us.
The copyright infringement case of the artwork unfortunately has not been solved at all yet.
Although we still have to fight for it, this is a huge step for the artist to restore "Shibuya Neko Hariko" and move forward with the case.
We will keep you updated on this case including the restoration process of the artwork on the website below, and would be grateful if you could stay informed and engaged on this matter.
Once again we thank you for your generous cooperation!
