A vintage shikishi art card features an adorable scene of two dogs crafted from fine Nishijin-ori (西陣織) fabric, a traditional textile from Kyoto renowned for its luxurious textures and intricate patterns.
The two playful pups are made using a collage-style technique, with each part of their bodies carefully cut from richly textured and patterned Nishijin silk. Their floppy ears, warm expressions, and whimsical postures evoke a sense of joy and companionship. They are connected by a red and white mizuhiki cord, playing with a ball — one inscribed with 福 (Good fortune), and the other with 夢 (Dream).
Set against a softly gradient pastel background, this textile artwork blends traditional craftsmanship with a heartwarming modern aesthetic. The combination of fabric artistry and symbolic motifs makes it a delightful decorative piece, perfect for bringing warmth and auspicious energy into any space.
