Kabamaru is a gray and black striped cat, and the leader of the pack. In this celebratory scene, he's dressed up as the emperor on his wedding day – a playful take on Hinamatsuri (Girl's Day).
The Japanese text reads: Momo no hana kazari, gonin bayashi mo nigiyaka ni, ureshii tanoshii, Hinamatsuri
The translation reads: Peach flower decoration, five magicians celebrating rowdily, happy and fun Hinamatsuri
Use furoshiki to dress up a suit pocket for a wedding, wrap up your bento, a bottle of sake or wine as a gift, or wipe the sweat off your brow during your next hike.
