These two postcards were sent by Ōgusa Genkichi (大草愿吉) to Maeda Yoshihiko (前田吉彦). The first, dated January 1, 1891, bears a Kobe postmark and informs Maeda of Ōgusa's new address. The second postcard, postmarked Tokyo on August 2, 1891, lists his address as 3-1 Yurakucho, Koujimachi-ku, Tokyo (東京麹町区有楽町三丁目一番地).
No information about Ōgusa Genkichi could be found online. While speculative, it is possible that Ōgusa was a student of Maeda in Kobe and later moved to Tokyo to pursue further studies.
