This is a culturally and philatelically significant Japanese postcard mailed from a Japanese post office in China, bearing a light green 2 sen Chrysanthemum definitive stamp with red overprint for Chinese usage. Issued in 1900 without watermark and featuring variable perforation, this stamp was part of Japan’s extraterritorial postal service established in treaty ports. The card is postmarked 18.12.06 with a clear circular date stamp, enhancing both authenticity and collector appeal. The photographic image shows a hand-colored scene of young Japanese women playing the traditional card game karuta, reflecting Meiji-era customs and social practices. Measuring 21 x 26 mm, the stamp represents a stylized floral design of the imperial crest and is lithographed with clean definition. The postcard is preserved in good condition, unused with undivided back, and offers aesthetic, historical, and postal relevance. Estimate "$80 – 100"
