Sonic 885

This official card came two days ago from Japan, a country with excellent railway system and trains.
The Sonic 885 is an EMU (electric multiple unit) train made by Hitachi in 2001 and operated in Limited Express mode (tokkyū) by JR Kyushu in the island with the same name in south-western Japan.
The multiple old stamps and the AirMail vintage sticker are awesome, too.
The 20¥ bears no date (printed in 1972) and depicts a bunraku character.
The 15¥, printed in 1971, depicts a tiger and a dragon, usual characters from Japanese Fairy Tales.
The 20¥, printed in 1972 depicts the the early Yokohama Harbor.

Thank You, Ichigo !
