Have you ever sent a card with a message to a lover or friend? Many people have sent birthday cards, but in other countries, they are called "greeting cards" and are frequently given for all kinds of occasions, not just birthdays and Christmas, but also Easter, housewarmings, and more. It's not a very familiar culture in Japan, but expressing your feelings in writing is a wonderful thing.
What exactly are message cards? They're a very common thing overseas!
This greeting is called "Greeting" in English. It is a word that means "greeting," "welcome words," "salute," etc. These cards are sold in even small shops overseas. It is a very familiar culture in other countries, but many people in Japan may not think of it as such. In our culture, are there anything similar to New Year's cards or summer greeting cards? When you hear about New Year's cards or summer greeting cards, you probably think, "Ah, I see!"
Myrtle & Mary message card
This time we would like to introduce message cards from Myrtle & Mary, a luxury lifestyle brand founded by artist and designer Carrie Neely.
The designs, which are said to be "reimagined vintage," are often inspired by things Carrie encounters in her dreams. It's amazing how she can incorporate things she encounters in her dreams into her designs!
Not only can you send a message, but you can also display it as art in your room!
Not only can you write a message and give it to someone, but you can also use it as interior decoration! These lovely message cards from Myrtle & Mary are sure to delight anyone who receives them. There are 12 different designs, so you're sure to find one you like!
~Design with leopard, butterfly and JAPAN motifs~
First up is the leopard motif. The striking design features a strong and beautiful leopard and a woman in a red dress riding on it, and it also has a mysterious quality. The tropical imagery evokes summer. The patterns around the four corners are also eye-catching. This could be a good birthday card for someone born in the summer.
Next is the butterfly motif. The flying butterflies scattered across the card are very cute. There are other animals in addition to butterflies, so animal lovers will surely enjoy this card. In addition to animals, there are also beautiful flowers depicted, making it a card that stands out for its cuteness and elegance. I think it will also be enjoyed by people who love flowers and gardening.
The third motif is JAPAN. A woman in a kimono is depicted in the center, with leopards on either side with vases on their heads staring intently at her. This design is a message card that is sure to please foreigners and fans of Japanese culture. It is also a great souvenir to convey a sense of Japanese culture.
~Design featuring parrots, humans, the moon and black panthers~
The fourth parrot motif is an impressive design featuring two parrots against a striped background. One of the parrots is drawn upside down, creating an interesting, "upside-down" atmosphere. The length of the feathers and the use of color are beautiful. The flower illustration behind the parrots is also very delicate and beautiful.
The fifth card, HUMAN, has a strong message: "To an Awesome HUMAN." Although it's a HUMAN card, there are no humans depicted. Only animals are depicted. Animals are not HUMAN. This is presumably because the recipient of the card is "to the most amazing person." It's perfect for a special someone's birthday, or even a baby shower!
The sixth card, Moon and Black Panther, features a woman in a white dress riding a black panther. The background features the sun, moon, and constellations. This card somehow evokes a connection with the universe. The black panther and black background evoke the image of night, so it might be good to use it for a party invitation for close friends and family.
~Designs with giraffes, zebras, love, and marine motifs~
The seventh card, featuring a giraffe and zebra, is reminiscent of Africa. The giraffe and zebra are eye-catching, but the woman dancing on the giraffe is also lovely. The pink surrounding the card gives it a girly feel, making it a perfect gift for a female friend!
The eighth card, LOVE, features a very cute woman and angel hanging from a heart. ♡ LOVE is a straightforward expression of love. It will help you express your affection on a daily basis. It's perfect as a gift for your partner, but it's also a great card to give to family. It also has a message, so it would make a lovely piece of art to display on your desk.
The ninth marine design is reminiscent of the refreshing ocean. The many fish and cool blue background are eye-catching. This card is perfect for those who love the sea and summer. You can use this card to send a summer greeting card or give it to a friend!
~Designs with cat, mermaid, and EPIC motifs~
The tenth Cat design is a must-have for cat lovers. The design features a beautiful white cat wearing a necklace and a beautiful woman, and is sure to appeal to any cat lover! The strawberries scattered throughout the design are also very cute.
The 11th mermaid features a striking design with a central mermaid against a red striped background. Surrounding it are numerous images of seashells, ships, and other things. Looking closely, goldfish, seahorses, and butterflies are also hidden within, giving the design a somewhat mystical feel.
The last card, EPIC, features the words "You're EPIC" and a human head. EPIC can mean epic poetry, historical poetry, or epic-length works, but it also has a slang meaning of "the best, the most amazing, the most amazing." This card also has a very strong message, making it a perfect gift for a loved one or even for yourself.
