Carp postcard from Japan
I must confess that this postcard has puzzled me to
some extent. I can see a carp at the
bottom of the card and I understand that in Japan, the carp symbolises a lot of
good things among them longevity, fortune, etc. So what is this card about? A general “Good Luck” card? Maybe someone with more information (or
someone from Japan) would be able to shed some light on this card.
