I'm glad that Marionnette Amis sent a photo because you can see the Fukei-in special postmark that some post offices in Japan offer — this one is from a post office at Ningyocho ("Doll District") of Tokyo, with the mechanical clock.

A small gratitude to some nice places I visited before.
I'm glad the first one arrived and was kindly received!
