There have been numerous comments in response by Japanese internet users extolling the aesthetic virtues of dog butts.
Most recently the craze has involved dog butt beauty contests as well as framed pictures on sale in art shops.
Not to be outdone, Japanese cat lovers claim they have known about the relaxing advantages of cat butt pictures for some time, and there is even a range of best selling cat rear end trophies that are hung on walls.
The cat pictures were created by Popolare, an accessory maker who runs her own shop retailing natural gemstones.
