Saidaiji Okayama, Japan

Another one from Okayama this month. This time sent from the Saidaiji post office in the Higashi Ward. On the left from 2009, an image of a carved phoenix & chrysanthemum bomboniere. It is one of a set issued to commemorate the golden wedding anniversary of the Emporer and Empress of Japan. On the right from 2003 is Byakko: the white tiger. The stamp is from a set showing wall paintings from Kitora Tomb in Asuka.
