In Japan, there is a tradition of sending postcards and a word for these friendly little holiday snapshots: Nengajō. Each greeting is a celebration of culture and of life – passing on the old ways into modern times. With this BackPax journey, Nengajō, come “postcards” bearing colorful scenes and greetings from afar: stories of the “Toothpick Warrior” days of the Samurai, and Kabuki ( Japan’s traditional theater), Seijin no hi (coming-of-age day), the dolls festivals for girls and for boys, a message on ecology, and so much more.
