bearing “Taiwan - Musha 5.12.10” datestamp and red “Emergency Mail” handstamp. The Mushe Incident is the historical event depicted in the film Seediq Bale. Only three recorded examples of such “Special Military Mail” of the Musha Incident with photographic evidence are known, this card is one of them and illustrated as fig. 92 in Japan Stamp Catalogue Vol. 1: Postal History.
bearing three stamps totaling 5 sen postage, the front shows a U.S. military postal censorship mark (CP handstamp) and the Osaka Central transit postmark dated “21.1.28,” while the reverse bears a handwritten posting date of September 29, Showa 20. This card represents an officially transmitted item that reached Japan through the postal system, not privately carried mail. Taking about four months to arrive from Taipei to Osaka, it illustrates that although postal routes between Taiwan and Japan were largely disrupted in the immediate postwar period, limited military correspondence still occurred. From Japan’s surrender on August 15, 1945, until the following spring, nearly no foreign mail was dispatched from Taiwan; thus, a correctly franked example showing U.S. censorship is extremely rare, an important artifact documenting Taiwan’s early postwar postal restoration and military communication history.
bearing Taipei “20.10.11” cds and “Additional Postage Paid” handstamp to indicate an extra 2s payment (as the postal rate at the time was 5s). The sender, Li Tsan-sheng, and recipient, Chung Wen-yi, were both notable figures of the period. The message on reverse holds strong historical significance, mentioning “the said item cannot be brought due to certain restrictions on money,” reflecting the social unrest and transfer of property in Taiwan during the immediate post-surrender period before formal handover from Japan. An extremely rare postally used example of the Taiwan Nanko card, with only about ten recorded, representing an important artifact for the study of Taiwan’s early postwar postal and social history.
