This is an early Japanese postal stationery card issued during the Meiji period, featuring the blue printed indicium of 1 sen with a chrysanthemum crest (Imperial Seal of Japan). The design includes a finely detailed border in traditional geometric pattern, a hallmark of Meiji-era postal issues. The card carries a clear circular date stamp, enhancing its postal history value. The reverse side bears pre-printed vertical Japanese text, likely for official or commercial correspondence, with additional handwritten calligraphy in brush script. Such cards provide insight into Japan’s modernization of its postal system and the blending of Western formats with Japanese aesthetics.
