Dear Postcard Club Members,
I am aware that a few of you didn't receive your cards yet. They were sent a month ago and they're still arriving. It could be due to the Olympics and more items being sent between Japan and the USA, but that isn't an excuse for lost items. I also know that some postcards have arrived very damaged. PLEASE Complain to your USPS local post office so they know they have a problem, formal complaints for damaged mail help them improve their services I'm told.
So...
Omori POW Camp Visit, Heiwajima
This is the spot where the POW camp was located, now a temple for prayer. Peter will join me. The Netflix movie UNBROKEN was also based at this spot - on Olympian Louis Zamperini. Brought some Cold Buds 🍺 and some stories. See you there -John

This is where the Battle of Aizu was fought during the Boshin War which ended the Samurai. It was an intense time and this place was at the center of it. I love Aizu Wakamatsu, Samurai City, Japan. I hope you like this month's card which will be sent from Tokyo between July 8th and 10th.

2021-06-28 13:57:02 +0000 UTC View PostRio's 100 Day Ceremony!
Well, it was over in a few minutes! Rio was blessed by a Shinto priest and I took a few photos! Now we'll eat a special meal and -- return the kimono! haha!
He didn't cry as much as I thought he would. I'll share more photos in the Q&A soon.
Leo's 100 Day Celebration!
Tomorrow is Leo's Okuizome (お食い初め) or 100 day celebration.
Actually, we couldn't do his 30 day shrine visit so this is all together. Kanae and I will rent Kimono and Leo (Rio) will have one too - he also is supposed to ea his first meal but .... yeah, I suspect I'll be doing most of the eating! haha
I don't know if I will do a stream but ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE as I did one at my wedding, just for a minute. Anyhow, I will do a Patreon LIVE Q&A on Sunday evening late JST, Sun...
