We believe the sender of this stationery card, postmarked in Hiroshima on January 4, 1890, was 友田美喬 (Tomoda Yoshitaka), Army infantry officer. What makes this card particularly interesting is its backside, which features an unusual ink color commonly associated with mimeograph-printed materials. However, since mimeographs were not widely used until some years later, it is likely that a different printing method was employed in this case.
