This handwritten postcard from 1914 was mailed from colonial Korea to Japan and bears a preprinted 1½ sen pale blue stamp from the Tazawa series (Old Die), first issued on 20 May 1914. The stamp features a chrysanthemum crest and Paulownia emblem design symbolic of imperial authority, printed in blue shades and measuring 21 x 26 mm. Catalogued as Scott JP 129, Michel JP 112IA, Yvert et Tellier JP 130, Stanley Gibbons JP 169, and Sakura JP 144, the card represents early postal use within the Japanese Empire during its rule over Korea. The Tazawa series was typographically printed and widely used across Japanese territories. The postcard is neatly written in ink and the stamp bears a clear cancellation, showing full official handling and destination detail. It is a culturally rich artifact connecting two regions during a complex period of political integration and reflects Japan’s efforts to standardize postal services across its empire. Estimate "$60 – 80"
