"Spring at Dawn" Japanese Cat in Kimono Art Kaffeetasse

Four cats in elegant kimono contemplate the seasons, accompanied by the opening line of The Pillow Book: "春はあけぼの" (Haru wa akebono) — "In spring, it is the dawn." This iconic phrase by Sei Shōnagon celebrates the fleeting beauty of spring mornings. Rendered in soft watercolor and traditional calligraphy, this design captures the timeless elegance of Japanese classical literature.
