Both of these cards were sent by Uehara Kigoro. We believe he was a student at Meiji Gakuin. Meiji Gakuin University began as Dr. Hepburn's English school, "Hepburn Juku," founded in 1863. Tsukiji Dai Gakko [Tsukiji College] was renamed ‘Meiji Gakuin’ in 1886 and, in 1887, the Tokyo government approved a move of its campus from Tsukiji to its present location at Skirokane, Tokyo. For another card from Uehara, see our post dated Oct. 7, 2024.
