Emperor Taisho died on Dec.25th 1925, there are not many new year greeting post card of 1926, however most of the people got used to exchange new year greeting at that time, there are many postcards as substitutes for new year greeting ones. The contents starts with the word "We are in the darkness, but ..."

I started making postal history collection of Japanese post cards as my sub theme recently and I got interested in Emperor Taisho. I met these post cards last week.
