This vintage souvenir postcard depicts children and Franciscan Missionaries of Mary sisters at the "Holy Infancy" mission and children's home in Kita Hiroshima, Japan. Likely printed in the early twentieth century and later collected by an Allied serviceman during the postwar occupation, the card offers a rare glimpse into pre-war Catholic missionary work in the Hiroshima region, a history overshadowed by the area's association with the atomic bombing of August 1945.
