The TV anime Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (薬屋のひとりごと) has released new monthly artwork for May as part of the campaign 「猫猫、壬氏と巡る四季」(Touring the Four Seasons with Maomao and Jinshi). This month’s piece spotlights characters Jinshi (壬氏) and Gaoshun (高順) in the featured illustration.
What Is the Four Seasons Campaign?
The “Touring the Four Seasons with Maomao and Jinshi” campaign releases new artwork every month, with each reveal scheduled on the 22nd — a date considered “Cat Day (猫猫の日)” — and each illustration draws on seasonal flowers as its central theme.
May Artwork: Jinshi Amid a Hanaazusa Curtain
The May illustration is set inside the imperial palace along a flower-lined path. Jinshi walks alongside Gaoshun, pausing to gaze at the Hanaazusa (花菖蒲) — Japanese irises — blooming beautifully by the bridge. The artwork captures the serene, elegant mood of the rainy season in full bloom.
Wallpaper and Special Campaign
- The anime’s official website distributes wallpapers for both PC and smartphone using this month’s May illustration.
- The official Kusuriya no Hitorigoto account on X (Twitter) is running a campaign to give away special cards featuring the May artwork, with 5 lucky winners in total.
Thai fans who follow the series won’t want to miss the beautiful artwork and special events the team has prepared throughout the year.
