Painting, vertical, leaning to square, in watercolour with ink lines, of a window of a postal service counter at Tokyo International Post Office. Inside are two postal workers, their backs to the observer. Behind them is the office space. To the right of the window are different announcements — "security camera in operation", different notices, a banner with an enlarged image of a one yen stamp with a bear serving as a mascot of Japan Post.

Scan of the whole back of the postcard. The painting described before is on the left. Over the address area superimposed is the front of the postcard with symbolic representation of different objects related to the post — a girl sitting on a desk writing a letter, envelopes, letters, a post office, a post office van. Above are two paired postal stamps, Nippon 110 with a copy of a woodblock drawing of women over buckets and a kettle. On top of it is a special postmark saying Tokyo INT with a logo of Universal Postal Union to the right, and a symbolic representation of Mount Fuji to the center top, a flower and a leaf to the left. The postmark is Reiwa year 8, May 2.
