M. Akamatsu 赤松 in Nagasaki to ドクトル・エフ・トラウツ 1932 **

M. Akamatsu to ドクトル・エフ・トラウツ 1932

This New Year's card with postmark of December 23, 1932 is addressed to F. M. Trautz in Kyoto, sent by someone named M. Akamatsu from Nagasaki, carries warm greetings for Christmas and New Year in German: "Herzliche Glückwünsche zu den fröhlichen Weihnachten sowie zum Neujahr, Ihr ganz Ergebener."

Despite the lack of information on Akamatsu, the postcard sparks curiosity about their connection to Trautz and the choice of language. Nagasaki's historical ties to international trade and the use of German might suggest a professional or academic relationship between the sender and recipient during that time.
