* Unused, but there are some stains from storage. **Product Description Overview** This is a cute illustration postcard of a cat and mouse drawn by the popular illustrator Akiko Maruyama. The title is "Friends." The soft pastel colors and the happy expressions of the animals will soothe your heart. It is not a standard postcard, but an art postcard sold at the time, and the back has the model number "N63" and the printing of Akiko Maruyama's artwork. Although it is unused, it has a natural texture due to aging (small spots, etc.), which gives it a deep flavor as a vintage item. **When was it made?** The exact year of manufacture is unknown, but based on the design of the back and the format of the postal code frame (a design reminiscent of the old format of 3 digits - 4 digits), it is estimated to be a rare vintage item from the 1980s to the 1990s. **Who is this product recommended for?** This product is perfect for fans of Akiko Maruyama's work, as well as collectors who collect Showa retro fancy goods. Also, because of the design of the cat and mouse getting along, it is highly recommended as a gift for animal lovers or for those who want to frame it and display it as interior decoration. **How much would it cost at the regular price?** The original price was around 100 to 150 yen per sheet, but it is now out of print and cannot be purchased at stationery stores, etc. In antique shops and auctions, it is often traded at a premium price with added rarity value. **How will buying this product improve your life?** Just by putting it in a small frame and displaying it on your desk or in your entrance, the space will instantly transform into a gentle and warm atmosphere. The expression of "Friends" will catch your eye from time to time, giving you a calm and healing time that will make you forget the busyness of your daily life. If you send it as a letter to someone important to you, your kindness will be conveyed directly along with the warmth of handwriting that is not found in digital. #AkikoMaruyama #Postcard #ShowaRetro #Fancy #CatGoods #Mouse #VintageGoods #Healing #Art #Collection
