I've been collecting postcards on and off since I was a kid - exchanging them while trading zines, buying them everytime I'm on vacation, and getting them from family members who went overseas. In January 2007 I discovered Swap-Bot, and from then on I started collecting more actively! Since then I also started to swap on Postcrossing and the Postcrossing Forums.

Maiko at Golden Pavilion (Kyoto)

Maiko dancers on wooden clogs share a paper umbrella. Hanging down their back are silk obi sashes with elaborate embroidery.

Beautiful! Both the geisha and the temple :) I went to Japan in 2006, and although I stayed in Kiyosato and Tokyo only, I have seen some temples too but not as beautiful as the one shown in this card :)
