Cat Postcard – “Jōshō Shikō”

This uplifting Japanese postcard shows a confident cat standing high on a ladder, gazing toward the open sky with mountains in the distance. Paired with the phrase 「上昇志向」(Jōshō Shikō), meaning “an ambition to rise” or “upward-looking mindset,” the image captures a light-hearted sense of motivation and optimism. With its strong vertical composition and clear blue tones, it works beautifully as an encouraging card, a desk-side reminder, or a small piece of inspirational art.

Fun Fact:
「上昇志向」 became a popular term in postwar Japan, often used to describe a mindset focused on self-improvement and progress—qualities humorously echoed here through a cat, an animal known for instinctively seeking high places to observe its surroundings.
