The stamp is a Japanese definitive with a floral cancellation mark dated Dec 22 1921 despite the note date of Sep 12 1921. No gloss or chemical structure consistent with RPPC is present based on the image provided and printer characteristics typical of No.112 series cards from this region during the Taisho period (1912–1926). This hand-tinted postcard depicts a fountain scene at Asakusa Park in Tokyo. It was sent from a friend named Penn to Mr. Jory Van Andel at 1722 R St. Lincoln Nebraska USA. The message mentions having a grand time in Tokyo on September 12th 1921 and wishing the recipient was there to enjoy it too. The stamp is a Japanese definitive with a floral cancellation mark dated Dec 22 1921 despite the note date of Sep 12 1921. Era category follows layout although sent in 1921 as it is a divided back card from the preceding period style popular globally through the 20s and Japan specifically did not use the US white border conventions during this time frame perfectly; divided back best fits the physical format seen here with the central line and address/message separation typical of that 1907-1915 global standard shift for foreign postal systems as well. No dot structure is visible to suggest anything other than a photomechanical print process like collotype common in Japan during this era. No gloss or chemical structure consistent with RPPC is present based on the image provided and printer characteristics typical of No.112 series cards from this region during the Taisho period (1912–1926). Thus it is not an RPPC despite being a photographic origin image printed via photomechanical plate process common at that time.
