Shinkoku, Fuuzdku (sic)
Google wasn’t much help at all on this scene, since it’s clearly not a photo of a lagoon in Truk. The actual spelling in the caption doesn’t give any clues, either. So, it’s up to you. Unused, sturdy, aged old card. Grade: 3

Code: 20311087
Price: $11.00
Tokyo, Diet Building at night
Mailed from Tokyo in 2000, with one stamp and nearly full postmark. There’s a ghost in here. You can’t see it in the picture (it’s a ghost, after all) but it prevents the caption on lower front bottom from showing up, no matter what we do to enhance it. Grade: 2

Code: 20311088
Price: $3.50
Ashizuri
Mailed from Tokushima in 1990, with stamp and two full postmarks. Grade: 2

Code: 20311089
Price: $3.50
Tokyo, 1923 earthquake aftermath
We can’t read the caption, but we trust Andrew, the writer, implicitly and so we also know the card comes after 1923. But before 1984, when it was mailed, with three stamps and full Shiba postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20311090
Price: $8.00
Senjoga-hara
Card mailed in 1981 with three stamps and postmarks run amok. Grade: 2

Code: 20311091
Price: $4.50
Cartoon
Maybe “cartoon” isn’t the best way to describe this, but we weren’t sure what else to say. Mailed in 1985 with one stamp and really full Yokohama postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20311092
Price: $3.00
Sumo
Mailed in 1985 with one stamp and a postmark from Narita Airport, the card has a bit of postal battering, and despite what the writer suggests, we never quite looked like a sumo wrestler. Almost there, but not quite. Grade: 2

Code: 20311093
Price: $4.00
Sagano, outside Kyoto
We are a sucker for autumn leaves, especially as we have lived most of our life where there aren’t any. Card was mailed in Tokyo in 1985, with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20311094
Price: $3.00

Code: 20311096
Price: $3.00
Mt. Fuji in morning sunrise
Another of these cards with huge white borders. This one was mailed from Malaysia (not Japan) in 1991, and has the Malaysian stamp and full postmark. The card is aging and has minor postmark smudging on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 20311097
Price: $3.50
Ritsurin Park
One of the very few cards mailed with a postage meter instead of a real stamp, in 1990. On the front, it’s nice. Grade: 3

Code: 20311098
Price: $2.50
Mt. Fuji and rape blossoms
This brings to the end–for now–our Japan series, and with it the need to keep entering cards of Mt. Fuji. But we never fail to appreciate the beauty of the scene. This card was mailed in 1984, with two stamps and partial postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20311099
Price: $4.00

Tokyo, Keio Plaza Inter-Continental Hotel
We try not to be too cynical about most cards but sometimes we can’t help wondering why they turn out the way they do. All we know is that it’s not by accident. We just find these quite stark. Four cards are available. Two are unused (Grades: 1, $3). One was mailed in 1983 with stamp, Shinjuku postmark, and affixed airmail sticker (Grade: 1, $4), and the fourth was mailed in 1986 with a postage meter (Grade: 3, $2).
