入気運 → "Enter Into Opportunity" (literal), positive, "Make The Most Of It" (actual); i.e, the more that you succeed to impress, the next tatami mat is placed on top of the one that you are currently sitting on. If you do not impress, you can lose one of those mats as well.
入 → Enter
気運 → Trend
Note the last kanji "運" is written and shown as a lazy stroke on the tatami mat on purpose, that is the character. Winnie The Pooh is holding a tatami mat that looks similar to a bee-hive. Winnie's "opportunity" is to get the honey. Your opportunity is to excel.

Maybe try Google Lens on your phone (my phone is too old to download the app or I'd check it myself).

ROFL! Often it's a denomination of coin, a lucky saying, etc.

OMG that is too funny!!!
That reminds me while driving on the major interstates and one of those semi trucks passes with little pink bums and wiggly tails hanging out...I always mutter " Run little piggies run!"
