Postcard Hanami

This beautiful postcard features an artwork by Japanese calligrapher and artist Yuseki Miki, known for his heartwarming messages and gentle illustrations.

The scene depicts two Ojizō-sama (Bodhisattva statues that are beloved in Japan as protectors of travelers and children) relaxing in an open-air hot spring (rotenburo), enjoying the breathtaking view of cherry blossoms in full bloom. As they soak in the warm water, two curious cats peek from behind a rock, watching them with interest.

The postcard includes the handwritten phrases:
"Hotto hitoiki, nonbiri nonbiri, kokoro mo karada mo genki genki" – meaning "Take a deep breath, relax and unwind. Refresh both your heart and body."

Miki’s artwork is cherished for its calming and uplifting messages, making this postcard a perfect keepsake or a thoughtful gift for someone in need of a little warmth and encouragement.
