"Even a Cat's Paws" Japanese Cat Art Zweifarbige Tasse

Four karuta-style cards featuring a cat in kimono, illustrating the Japanese saying "猫の手も借りたい" (Neko no te mo karitai) — "I'd even borrow a cat's paws," meaning "I'm so desperately busy I'd accept any help." This playful idiom captures the irony that even unhelpful assistance would be welcome. A humorous take on everyday hustle, rendered as traditional Japanese playing cards.
