The image features a striped tabby cat wearing a red headband and a yellow tiger-striped cape, holding a sprig of holly and a blue bird. Beside it, a cheerful Shiba Inu runs with a small child perched on its head, tossing roasted soybeans (fukumame) from a wooden box-referencing the Setsubun bean-throwing ritual. Pink cherry blossoms float above, blending springtime renewal with seasonal celebration.
