Tokyo Postcard

€5.00

The official Postcards from Jenna Tokyo postcard. The postcard features a hand carved Hanko stamp by Tokyo featured artist Hideki Arami (pictured). The Hanko was individually stamped by Jenna onto photocopies Jenna made at her office (very Tokyo). Each postcard was printed on recycle paper. Includes one of the three handwritten poems by Jenna Matecki on the back:

Tokyo, you’re on purpose
It’s love at first sight, don’t you know
I see you through the brim of my clear umbrella
Even with the raindrops –
I’ll receive you with two hands
You’re magic even though
you’re trying for perfect

OR:


We happily poked at
millions of vending machines
We visited Meiji Shrine (because all tourists must see Meiji Shrine)
and clapped and bowed like we knew what we were doing
We bit into onigiri triangles
and made funny faces at pickled plum surprises
We pointed out the cute
little kids
laughing and running between the doorways
We swapped notes about our
reverse culture shock
and rambled on about how this giant, robotic city of Tokyo
somehow results in a melting, unhardening,
thoughts – the consistency of mochi –
We pawed at everything like cats in Shibuya
We yelled “kawaii” at all the manga
Everyone secretly watched us
the way introverts do

OR:

We watched the tide of Tokyo bay
Seaweed floated back and forth on the surface
The sun found pockets between the grass
Golden mirrors bubbled back and forth, netted
between chords of salt and air
I gestured at these weeds
that we happened upon at the seaside edge of
Hama-rikyu gardens
I had a hard time believing that such a sight
could exist
Breathtaking and green, I became happily lost
before
he said,
“Looks tasty.”

Note: These also have truly traveled around the world. As such there may be slight paper variations or bending on the edges. Shipping time is slow (this is snail mail afterall) and varies depending on physical location.
