Dai 21-kai Han no Kai sakuhin-shū (第21回榛の会作品集) - The works of the 21st Han Association
Purpose-made album with pockets holding 51 self-printed postcards (35 of which were actually sent by mail) by artists like Onchi Kōshirō, Kawakami Sumio, Takei Takeo, Sekino Jun’ichirō, Maekawa Senpan and 46 others. The album is complete and includes 2 card-size tables of contents – the artists’ names accompany each pocket holding a postcard. The album was published in 1955 – the cards were of course distributed early 1955.

Euro SOLD

Very good overall condition; albums like this are seldom complete. This one is special because of the last New Year’s card ever sent by Onchi Kōshirō (see detail 1), who died later that year.
