A New Year card that came from Japan. I'm not sure why the message was written on the front. The stamps came from the Chinese Year of the Dragon card I posted earlier in the week.
This is a post for Sunday Stamps, now hosted by Violet Sky at "See it on a Postcard!"
Good Morning Sheila as it is only 5:30 here across the pond. I have always liked dragons and that one is colorful and interesting.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of your weekend.
Wow, Odie! Early riser! A good morning to you, and thanks for visiting.
DeleteThe 2.50 dragon is superb.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The two below look as though they could hiss and spit.
DeleteGreat card & stamps!

Thanks, Angie!
DeleteThe message was most likely written on the front because that is the usual way of writing Japanese new year cards. Address on one side, message/picture on the other. Cute dragon. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that, thank you, Maggie! It looks quite an amiable dragon, this one. :)
DeleteI have some unused Japanese New Year postcards from the 1980s. I didn't realize that messages were usually written on the front there.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't either.
DeleteGood morning! Linky tools appears to be working again. I have added your link in the body of my post, just in case. That first dragon is great. Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll add my link in the proper place. :)
DeleteHahaaa...these are just darling! lol Made me smile this morning.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of New Year's cards as I hardly ever get my Christmas cards sent off in time!
ReplyDeleteThat first dragon (the 2.50) seems to have quite a stride on him!
What a cute baby dragon to be born in the new year with spring flowers. Love the ornate dragon and the twisting dragons on the stamps. The 3.50 reminded me of something I read about putting black ribbons on this year's dragons to signify the streams and rivers twisting and turning.
ReplyDeleteThat first dragon looks very friendly - he’s definitely smiling.
