To show off the high-quality craftsmanship that is celebrated in Okawa in Japan's Fukuoka Prefecture, which is where many furniture manufacturers are located, Okawa City launched a unique campaign centered around cats.

To draw the eyes of Internet users to the [finely crafted furniture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wherever-life-goes) that are made in the region, Okawa City had furniture makers from the region put together [small-scale cat furniture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-tree-house-2). The campaign shows cats lounging on tiny couches and beds that are built perfectly to-scale.

Outside of the video content it created, Okawa City also put together a few special webpages that provide more detail about the [Feline Sofa and Cat Bed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-tree-house-1), plus a few production secrets. It also describes that "Okawa furniture will respond to any request and any request."
