This Merry Christmas postcard is a small greeting card that was never folded and mailed like a postcard. (open it is the size of a standard postcard)
The sender writes that this is the artwork of Nishioka Ryosuke. He is a person with a physical disability and uses only his mouth to draw.
postmarked in 2011 with three Taiwan stamps

Ryosuke Nishioka broke his neck when doing floor exercises during a gym lesson at the age of 17. He has since been unable to move his legs and has only minimal use of his arms. Subsequently he spent two years at a rehabilitation centre for the severely disabled, where he also started to paint with his mouth.
I can use my hands and still can not draw. I have a high respect for this man!
