Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 34 Japan

Xui is very upset this week.  His wife's best friend has been convicted of murdering a British businessman and he has been sent to Japan to sort out a dispute over some uninhabited islands (Diaoyu Islands) over which China claims sovereignty

.Roland Poland writes to his brother Malcolm,

Hi Malcolm,
Japan this week and its back on the cat food again.  They call it 'sushi'
- I call it fancy fish bits.  Don't even mention Tofu - what's that all about?
The missus is on top note on account of her friend Gu going to prison
and Xui is involved in some diplomatic row about some islands that
are sitting on top of huge gas reserves.
Hope everything calms down and I can get some proper food soon.

Here are the pages I made for his travel book

We have included a photo of the Pagoda of Chureito at Mt. Fuji and a warrior at the Neputa Matsuri Festival, together with a geisha and an autumn shrine scene.

My postcard has been traced from a rice paper design  with a warrior design, onto glossy card and coloured with Copic Markers and gold Krylon pen.  It has a lovely glossy surface and looks like satsuma ware.
Thank you for stopping by and I do hope you will visit all the other travellers on our challenge. (link sidebar)
