Snoopy Vintage New Year's Postcard from Showa Era Japan – Hallmark & Sanrio Collaboration
This vintage New Year's postcard features Snoopy and carries markings from both Hallmark and Sanrio, placing it within a notable cross-cultural licensing partnership that brought Peanuts characters to Japanese stationery during the Showa era. New Year's postcards, known as nengajo, are a long-standing Japanese tradition of sending greetings at the turn of the year, making this piece a small artifact of that custom. It originates from Japan and reflects the Showa period's enthusiasm for Western characters adapted through Japanese design sensibilities.
