These two postcards are a new discovery within this collection. For reference, see the post dated November 28, 2024, which features four other postcards sent by Sugi Chūzaburō (杉忠三郎): https://maeda-yoshihiko.blogspot.com/2024/11/60.html
Both cards were sent by Sugi Chūzaburō to Maeda while Maeda was visiting Hiroshima, addressed to 広島市細工町 高坂方 (Hiroshima-shi, Saikumachi, c/o Kōsaka). It remains unclear why Sugi sent two postcards on the same day. Both bear Tokyo postmarks dated December 17, 1889, and list Sugi’s return address as 東京本郷区森川町一番地 吉川方 (Tokyo, Hongo-ku, Morikawa-chō 1 banchi, c/o Yoshikawa).
The mystery continues: What was Maeda doing in Hiroshima? And why was Sugi in Tokyo?
