Ink and watercolour postcard of Flutist and Bird Prototype (フルート・プレイヤー・－プロトタイプ－) automaton (built by Franz Oehrlein) at Kawaguchiko Music Forest (河口湖オルゴールの森).

Sent from Miyajima Post Office (宮島郵便局) at Itsukushima for a special cancellation postmark (Fuukeiiin, 風景印).

This postcard is a “remake” of a postcard with the same Flutist drawn many years ago and sent from Tokyo with a special cancellation postmark of the Tokyo Postal Museum.

This scaled postcard and accompanying photographs was the first one published for public with “Nightshade” processing. The high-res versions for patrons are kept unedited.

This postcard I also happened to photograph at twitter.com/MarionnetteAmis (then called “Marionette Party”) cafe, including with one of twitter.com/hamcat_mqq dolls and a doll by “Parabox” (パラボックス).
