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

Step into a quiet summer shrine with this postcard by Toshinori Mori, available now at Wanderlust.

Beneath the shelter of an ancient tree, a pair of cats pause by a weathered stone torii gate. One gazes toward the altar, where delicate flowers and lanterns pay quiet tribute, while the other slips through the foliage, as if on a secret errand. Above them, a lone bird perches on a branch, watching over the sacred space. The pink blossoms and lush greenery lend a peaceful vibrancy to the scene—inviting quiet reflection and wonder.

For those who find comfort in tradition, nature, and the simple presence of watchful companions, this postcard offers a serene moment of stillness and story
