Here are three postcards sent from 播磨明石 (Akashi, Harima), now part of Hyogo Prefecture. They are postmarked January 2, 1889, March 14, 1889, and May 29, 1890, and were sent by 為田鍛 (Tameda Kaji?). His return address is listed as 明石町大明石村 (Oakashi-mura, Akashi-cho).
Tameji seems to have been connected to the Meiji Art Association, as his name appears in their 1892 publication, 明治美術會報告 第16回 (Meiji Bijutsu Kai Hokoku, 16th Report). He was also likely an educator at the Hyogo Prefectural Agricultural College, as his name is mentioned in the Hyogo Prefecture Education Bulletin from 1886 to 1889 (兵庫県教育雑報 第85-95号).
