Hana Ehagaki (4)

The New Year 2017 has begun. Some weeks before the new year I received this great drawing, printed on a postcard, by Hana Ehagaki from Japan.
The Shoebill Stork is a quiet and impressive bird. And this peticular one is extra dear because this bird brings... Mail!

Hana also has made these wonderful rubberstamp prints:



The Rooster on the stamp reminds me of the fact that the new year didn't start completely yet: it is still the Year of the Monkey, and the New Year of the Rooster will start within four weeks!

Thank you very much, arigato, Hana!

The Moray Eel I always thought a dangerous fish for its sharp teeth and strong jaws. Fortunately both the fish and the lady, but also the postcard and the postmen survived the journey from Japan to the Netherlands.

The addition to the 'What or whom is she staring at?'-lady has been created by Hana Ehagaki. Thank you very much, arigato, Hana!

This beautiful goat drawing has been issued on a postcard. I was so lucky to receive this card from the designer herself, Hana Ehagaki from Japan.
And look at the great Goat stamp and suitable green stamp!



Thank you very much, Hana!

This beautiful colour pencil drawing of a Warbler has been created by Hana Ehagaki from Japan.
The drawing arrived in this beautiful envelope:





With the animals came these interesting postmarks, among them a stamp print of the Kingdom of Amaooi.
And more Birds! A Shoe-billed stork, and a Gannet, so to see (?).





And beautiful train designs (besides animals, I love trains).



Thank you very much, Hana!
