Postcard: 村田 夏佳 (Natsuka Murata): Shiba-Inu with Shiro Kuma Kakigori (Shaved Ice)

This delightful illustration by watercolor artist Natsuka Murata brings an irresistible touch of summer whimsy to the Wanderlust shop.

Featuring a curious Shiba Inu sitting beside a generous bowl of Shiro Kuma Kakigōri—a classic Japanese shaved ice topped with condensed milk and fruit—this scene feels like a tender snapshot from a festival afternoon. The dog's gentle gaze and the icy dessert’s pastel toppings create a moment of quiet joy, as if summer itself decided to pause and take a breath.

Soft, nostalgic, and heartwarming, this postcard is perfect for collectors and daydreamers alike. It’s a small treasure that evokes memories of warm breezes, straw hats, and the soft clink of ice melting slowly in the sun.
