I used 100¥ stamp in case the address is wrong and they would have to send it internationally "back"

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.

I took photos of my postcards while at Marionnette Amis cafe and they liked it, so I thought of sending one to them!

Painted in ink and watercolour on a postcard from JR West museum with a photo of Series 300 Shinkansen, sent as a patreon reward. Note that the actual Shinkansen pictured is of N700 series of JR East. Appropriately, this was actually posted this from a train.

The postcards I painted before coming to Japan, where I bought the stamps, signed them, and sent them (often from the post offices with special Fukei-in cancellations).
