December 2021 Postcard - Year's End to Year of the TIGER!

It's the last month of the year and everyone including the Samurai who provided their address will get a postcard! It is also usually the only card in the year where I am a part of it on the front and this year Kanae and I are joined by Leo. In Japanese, his name is 理央 which is "Rio" but they both sound alike. I also have special New Year stamps which Japanese usually attach to letters / cards at this time of year. 2022 is the YEAR of the TIGER and it's cool to be able to share it with you in the postage stamp. All members signed up this month by the 3rd will have theirs sent from Tokyo's Central Post Office which get a nifty TOKYO post mark in English. Also if you are a Samurai member and didn't register your address when you signed up for Patreon here (see below), please do so by December 4th or send me a direct message after 12/4 because I will not get a notification. Only new Patreon Postcard Club member sign ups notify me to send one out. I am very very very thankful our community has grown so much in 2021. Starting in January 2022, barring any awful turn of events with this pandemic, I will resume my normal travel for show production with 2 new members to help speed up production - Emi and Marina. I will also have as assistant with me more often to film in 2022.

There are several Patreon sponsored episodes including a trip back to the Tokyo Islands and long stays in North Hokkaido and Okinawa. 2022 is going to be pretty awesome!

If you ever have any questions, please never hesitate to write me here on Patreon. It's easy to send a DM and I try to check here twice a day. Q&A coming next week when I decide if we can go to the USA or not. Much love from Tokyo, John (Kanae & Leo too)

PS: Please confirm your address is up-to-date if you've moved recently.
