In recent weeks a number of decidedly odd postcards have appeared on Twitter (and elsewhere), apparently sent to our friends from Japan by a couple of random people (if you have seen these people or know anything about their decidedly odd activities, please get in contact with me) [edit] [I may award a decidedly odd prize].

For the purpose of working out what it’s all about, I’ve collected those that have surfaced here to be contemplated in harmony.

お楽しみに！　(Enjoy!)

Puzzling.

This card is of particular interest – it was received by Tom and caused a great deal of confusion because it is not actually written in Japanese or Chinese. It’s a puzzle. And it’s pointlessly hard. For those short on time, Tom’s excellent solution can be found here.

Thanks to everyone who uploaded postcards! There’s still a few out there I think, so if you have one please let me know!
