Postmarked December 31, 1888, and January 3, 1889, in Kumamoto, these New Year’s cards were sent by Suzuki Shigemochi (鈴木重持), an educator who was likely once a student of Maeda. Why did Suzuki send two cards just days apart? He may have forgotten he had already sent one or was unsure if it had been mailed. Either way, the second card was likely sent out of caution or courtesy.
