Gotochi Cards

I've recently received a few Gotochi cards from friends around Japan, so thought I would post a few of them for your viewing pleasure.  In most cases I don't have any extra information about the cards.

A fellow Postcrosser and AFWJ member sent me these two cards.  She lives somewhere in Hyogo and had to go to great lengths to find them as her local post office doesn't sell them!

They are very appreciated!

She also sent me these ones, as she found them on a short trip.  

The dancing one reminds me a little of the Yamagata Dancers card.

These last two came from another member of AFWJ. We've been swapping cards for a couple of months now and it is always a treat to find one in the mail.  

She sent the card of the sand baths when we were having some very cold weather in hopes that it would warm me up.  It did!

The man on the bottom card is Saigo Takamori, an influential Samurai in Kagoshima.  My husband told me that he also made the trip up to Shonai at some time as he was friends with the local area head.

There you are...my latest Gotochi cards!  Great aren't they?  Thank you ladies for sending them. I adore them!
