The 1952 Steady Gaze (Two Cats), edition 73 of 200, is among the most sought-after of Saito's cat prints—a large edition suggesting strong commercial demand even at this date, relatively early in his international career. The two-cat composition gave him the compositional challenge he explored elsewhere in paired subjects: how two similar forms in proximity create rhythm, tension, and visual conversation. At 200 impressions, this was printed for wide distribution, reflecting the print's appeal.
