Description

This telephone card features a photograph of a traditional Japanese scene with blooming sakura (cherry blossoms) in the foreground and a forest in the background, with a river and bridge in between. A label in the white border reads "Nissay Union" in blue in English. The back of the card has instructions on how to use the card, in both Japanese and English. The card has a plain silver back. The card was manufactured by NTT (the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation). Small punched holes at the top indicate that this card has used up all of its calls (out of a total of 50).
