On January 1, 1890, Ishida Tokusaburo (石田徳三郎) of Shimobara, Bichu (present-day Okayama) sent a postal card to Maeda Yoshihiko (前田吉彦) and Udagawa Kingo (宇田川謹吾) in Kobe. The identities of Udagawa Kingo and the sender, Ishida Tokusaburo, remain unknown, though the card appears to express gratitude. Tokusaburo provided his return address as 川上郡 東成羽村 大字星原 (Ooza Hoshibara, Higashi Nariwason, Kawakami-gun).
Interestingly, there is a touch of yellow oil paint above the Kobe postmark. Maeda must have been working on a painting when he handled this postcard.
