This mini-sized woodblock print was originally created for a calendar and published by Chikuho-do. This handmade woodblock print is a charming decoration for a small space or a thoughtful gift. A heartfelt woodblock print by Takashi Ohno, featuring a row of cat paws reaching upward against a warm background. The lettering above the paws, at the top of the image, reads 「生きててね」 (Ikitetene), which can be translated as “Please stay alive” or, more gently, “Please keep living.” Paired with the playful imagery, the words convey a tender wish for life and well-being.
