| :: | The message on this card reads: "Fujiyama, the mt. (mountain) the Japs worship. Been seeing Yokohama in a jinrichisha (rickshaw). Feb. 14." This person apparently learned a few Japanese words like "jinrikisha" which means "human-powered vehicle" that is the rickshaw. And the term "Japs" has been around well before World War II. The card was sent from Yokohama on Feb 13, 1907 and arrived in Northfield, Vermont on March 11, 1907. So it took almost a month for postcards to arrive from Japan. |
