Description

This is an invitation for the first and festive meeting of the year, held on the 23rd of January, of the members of the group collecting and enjoying sensha-fuda. It seems that they choose a theme each year, and that year's theme was craftsmen of the Edo era. The organizing group's name is written as Nourei Mutsumi Kai 納例睦会. This invitation was issued on the 11th of January, in 1922.

The feature in the lower right is a komainu (guardian lion-dog), which protects sacred locations. The artist of the image is written on the stamp in the lower right corner, which is read as kaunen かうねん.
