Description

A set of match label prints in a landscape theme in fan shape, possibly produced by Hokuso Ujin (北総迂人 (also known as Takarada Nao (宝田直)) under a slightly different name. The set was produced in the summer of Showa 8 (1933). To the left of the date on the envelope we see the words noshi ("のし") in red. Noshi are traditional Japanese folded paper decorations affixed to presents, but here we we have the characters noshi instead of the paper decoration itself, making the "present" a little more casual. The title may read something like "暑中...綱山", but we are not quite sure yet...
