Yusei Jigyocho Manchukuo Imperial Visit Commemorative on Woodblock Postcard Print

YUSEI JIGYOCHO (Japan Postal Agency) in 1935 issued a commemorative stamp to honour the Manchukuo imperial visit to Japan. It proclaimed Puyi's visit to Japan, the Emperor of Manchukuo (the building depicted is the Akasaka Imperial Palace, now the State Guest House), and an on-piece stamp with the commemorative seal of Tokyo was placed  on the stamp.

The postcard itself shows a woman of Ohara with basket of flowers on the Sanjo Bridge. This woodblock print originally was printed circa 1905, whereas the postcard itself was probably available in the early 1930s.
