Description
From the sellerThis is a beautiful vintage postcard featuring the iconic Great Buddha (Daibutsu) statue in Kamakura, Japan. The postcard showcases a stunning hand-tinted photograph of the Daibutsu amidst lush greenery, with a few people providing a sense of scale. The reverse side is a standard postcard format, marked 'MADE IN JAPAN' and features a handwritten date of 'Mar 2, 1917'. This card is unposted, making it a wonderful piece for collectors of Japanese topography, religious monuments, or early 20th-century postcards. A charming historical artifact reflecting the beauty of Japan.
