Le Mailboxes in Japan they are not banal and repetitive like in all places in the world.
There are letterboxes around the country of a more traditional type, with a red lacquer color and an unmistakable shape, but there are also others that are very curious and original.
We move from cabinets with bright colors and unusual shapes, and then flow into real works of art with manga drawings, animal-like features and everyday objects. In Tokyo there is the Postal Museum Japan to retrace Japan's postal and communications service. Its permanent exhibition features historic mailboxes, vintage stamps and mail-related collections.
It is a museum that uses digital technology to introduce visitors to postal services as they have evolved over time. Near the museum there is a mailbox dedicated to the manga series Makoto-chan about the strange vicissitudes of Makoto Sawada, a terrible Japanese brat.
It is the shaped mailbox Game Boy, posted by a Japanese user on Twitter, while he was out fishing. If you look carefully you will notice the Japan Post symbol, with a red T-shaped mark, on the side. The cassette appears damaged by the weather.
Here's a vfloral ersion of the mailbox, this has the shape of a colored flower with pastel shades and is located in Yamanashi prefecture near the Fruit Park Fujiya Hotel.
This is the mailbox in the shape of a panda which is located in the Tokyo Ueno Zoo wildlife park. Two giant pandas live here, this zoo was the first in Japan to breed pandas and successfully breed them.
