Postcard: 村田 夏佳 (Natsuka Murata): Shiba-Inu with Beer & Edamame (Green Soybeans)

Raise a glass to leisurely summer nights with this whimsical watercolor by Natsuka Murata, now available at the Wanderlust shop.

Known for her soft, expressive Shiba Inu portraits, Murata offers a cheeky take on refreshment: a beer mug topped with frothy foam and decorated with an illustrated Shiba Inu and the name "Shibata"—like a playful nod to pup-run pubs. In front of the mug, a curious Shiba stands clutching a pod of edamame, the ultimate healthy snack.

This scene radiates lighthearted charm, celebrating Japan’s beloved summer duo—beer and edamame—with a delightful canine twist. Ideal for collectors, dog lovers, or anyone who appreciates good company and crisp bubbles.
