This postcard, postmarked December 1, 1891, stands out as the only one among over 300 cards addressed to Maeda Yoshihiko from Bingo Province (now part of Hiroshima Prefecture). This rarity suggests that the sender, Honda Sada, was either not closely acquainted with Maeda or was visiting Bingo from another region. It is also possible that Honda corresponded with Maeda from other locations, but we have yet to uncover additional postcards from him in this collection.
The sender's partial return address reads 備後国ｘｘｘ郡三原町大字大ｘｘｘ, though some portions remain unclear. Honda signed his name as 本田貞, but it is possible that he omitted an additional character for reasons unknown. Despite our efforts, we were unable to locate any online records or references to him, leaving his identity and background a mystery.
