Iwaya Sazanami, one of the mission's members, sent many postcards to his family in Tokyo. The postcards depict hotels, parks, trains, and other scenes of contemporary America as seen by the mission in 1909. His family stored the postcards in the attic for many years, but 33 have been selected and are on display here. |
