Fried Egg and Ham Postcard

Food-themed stationery

Fried eggs and ham isn't what you think of when you hear the words "Japanese breakfast" but as a matter of fact, between over 150 years of Western influence and a need for change, the Japanese have adopted the typical American breakfast as one of the alternatives for the first meal of the day. And yes, that includes pancakes with maple syrup as well as toast with butter and jam too. The Fried Egg and Ham Postcard pays tribute to this popular morning dish, offering it in the form of something else the Japanese have a special affinity for: stationery!

Its very realistic depiction of an egg and round slice of ham will surprise you enough to not notice at first that the back of the Fried Egg and Ham Postcard is actually, well, a regular Japanese postcard, with the marker for the stamp and the seven red squares that Japan Post uses for writing ZIP codes. It's 17 x 9 mm (0.7 x 0.4"), which is basically the size of a fried egg and slice of ham, and is made of durable VC. And even if you don't use it as a postcard, it makes a very fine decorative ornament too!
