Who was Hasegawa Eijirō of Futami Hyōgo?

長谷川栄次郎 (Hasegawa Eijirō)September 1 and September 15, 1891

These two postcards (above) were sent by 長谷川栄次郎 (Hasegawa Eijirō) from Futami, Harima (now part of Hyōgo Prefecture), with postmarks dated September 1 and September 15, 1891. Despite our efforts, we’ve been unable to uncover any details about Hasegawa Eijirō. Interestingly, we also have another postcard sent from Futami, Harima, (see below) dated June 29, 1891. While the sender’s name is illegible...could be 木村常治 ? ...the message includes a reference to Hasegawa Eijirō, suggesting a connection between the two. It’s clear that something significant was happening between these individuals, as they both sent cards to Maeda Yoshihiko. Unfortunately, the exact reason for their correspondence remains a mystery.Futami, Harima June 29, 1891
