Postcard from Suzuki to his brother, Gentaro
Meiji period, dated 1908 / Sheet, ink on paper
After eleven years in the United States beginning from 1897, Suzuki sailed for Britain and mailed this postcard to his older brother, Gentarō (1858-1925) upon arrival. His excitement is evident: "Now in London [...] Unlike America, most fascinating. I am enjoying England." ("Ima ya Rondon ni ari [...] Beikoku to chigahi, nakanaka omoshiro-shi, Ware wa Eikoku o yorokobu.")
