Postcard: もり としのり (Mori Toshinori): たびねこ (Tabi-Neko: Travelling Cat): Jizo Statue

Let the gentle rhythm of rain soothe the soul with this atmospheric postcard by Toshinori Mori, available now at Wanderlust.

Sheltered beneath a red-tiled roof, a row of jizō statues stands in silent grace, each wrapped in soft pink or purple cloths. Raindrops ripple in puddles as hydrangeas bloom in vibrant clusters, their colors deepened by the misty weather. A black cat and a calico companion sit calmly at the edge of the shelter, while a bird flutters low to the ground—signs of stillness and subtle life. To the side, a weathered bus stop sign hints at departures yet to come, or perhaps the patient act of waiting.

A beautiful piece for those who find comfort in the quiet harmony of tradition, nature, and passing showers.
