Bicycle– foil-stamped postcard by Necktie (cozyca products)
Size: 100 × 148 mm
This postcard feels like a small, quiet story caught mid-movement. A bear and a woman riding a bicycle together, apples in the basket, butterflies drifting by. Nothing exaggerated, nothing explained too much. Just a moment that leaves space for interpretation.
The illustration is by Necktie: Norikazu Aizawa and Asami Aizawa, based in Sapporo. Their work often combines gentle humour with very controlled composition, and that balance is especially clear here. The scene is playful, but never loud.
Subtle foil-stamped butterfly details add a soft shimmer when the light hits, without overpowering the illustration. Printed in Japan, size 100 × 148 mm, this postcard works beautifully for Postcrossing, penpals, or simply keeping as a small illustrated piece on your desk.
I chose this design because it feels calm and narrative at the same time.
