 There was a "postcard tree" in front of Nihonbashi Post Office. What is the sharpness of this leaf?

 

It means that if you write something, it will remain clear.  "Tarayo Postcard Tree"

 

It's rare, isn't it?  It seems that this is the origin of the "postcard".

 

It was in front of the statue of "Maejima Mitsuru". Nihonbashi Post Office was April 20, 1871 (Meiji 4)

 

Along with the establishment of the modern post office system in Japan, the current Nihonbashi Post Office area was established with Ekiji and Yokkaichi.

 

Post Office (later Tokyo Central Post Office) has been set up.
