As an art director,As a graphic designer,Hattori, who naturally expresses his unique design perspective that is gentle yet sharp, has been featured in magazines such as "Ryuko Tsuushin" and "Mayonaka"."Here and There"Although he has worked on many book designs, such as Obunsha's Petit Royal French-Japanese Dictionary and Nakajo NAKAJO, he has surprisingly never designed a single book of his own.『Paper Catsis an artist book that was planned, photographed, designed and written entirely by Hattori Kazunari.

『Paper CatsThe book features 23 "paper cats" that were cut out with scissors and photographed. It is a book that simply sticks to one theme, and while it seems like something anyone could imitate, it is quite difficult to complete, making it a collection of small pieces that is very Hattori-like. The 48-page hardcover book is wrapped in a blue cover, making it look like a pastry wrapper. It was published by the BON BOOK publishing label, which was started by a long-established printing company. I was in charge of editing.
