Postcard from Fukuoka, Japan.

This is not a real postcard, it is made of wagami(和紙) which is a style of paper.

My friend is a exchange student and she went to Yamaguchi University. Before the day she came back to Taiwan, she traveled to Fukuoka and made wagami as a postcard.

The front side of the paper. A special mark on the card is "料金不足", which means the postage is not enough for 20 Yen, even though, I still receive this unique postcard. Apparently, there's good friendship between Taiwan and Japan.

The back side shows the character of Wagami.

I like its ink-painting style just like Chinese-landscape paint. I do not paint but I photograph.

The sender is a 12-year-old girl and she is at the same age as my cousin. She told me the original painting was painted by foot instead of hands, therefore, its made it a special card. I know about there are some charities for  the disables, we have similar one in Taiwan. My father bought some folder card from the Charity Foundation many years ago. As the rapid development of technology, we have less chance to write a letter or a postcard of even a card, people in the world tend to use email or cellphone to express their concern. For the reason, my father did not continue buying the cards for the charity.
