Okinawa Shimanone Washi Postcard - Bitter Melon

Made by: Yuimarlu Okinawa

$5.00

Crafted from traditional Japanese washi paper and silk-screen printed, this postcard offers a sophisticated, artisanal touch.

Shimanone's designs feature motifs inspired by Okinawa's familiar nature, food culture, and everyday life.

This design features the striped pattern of a vertically sliced goya (bitter melon). Its distinctive, irregular bumps seem to symbolize the variety of people and cultures. Together, they represent the Okinawan spirit of "once you meet, everyone is family" as if everyone is holding hands.
