Postcards of Japan (POJ) aims to be a central repository for information on vintage postcards of Japan and the Japanese. Our focus is the pre-war period.
The site will feature information about publishers, cards, contact data for dealers, interviews with dealers and collectors, and recommendations for books and sites about vintage Japanese postcards.
We still need some extra help:
• Translators (esp. JPN-ENG, ENG-JPN, but also Dutch, French and German)
• People to list postcard fairs in their area (featuring vintage Japanese postcards)
• Authors of articles about vintage Japanese postcards
• Authors of book and/or site reviews
Help us make this the best resource on the net! Contact us.

Hello Kjeld! Are you a member of ISJP, the International Society for Japanese Philately? If so, you will have already received the latest issue of their journal named Japanese Philately. In it, I had an article about Karl Lewis and his postcards. I can send you a copy by air mail if you have not seen it. With best wishes, also for your interesting web site, Mike Price

The Gerald Warner Taiwan Images Collection has been re-structured and augmented (considerably). The new version is titled “The East Asia Image Collection.”

The East Asia Image Collection is an open-access archive of digitized photographs, negatives, postcards, and slides of colonial Taiwan (1900-1945) and occupied Japan (1947-52). Rare materials include prewar picture postcards, high-quality commercial prints, and colonial era picture books. In its current state, the collection consists primarily of images, many unpublished, of colonial Taiwan.
