The Japanese caption reads: Hoten Ginza - Kasuga Street Hoten was the Japanese name for Mukden, now Shenyang, China. Ginza refers to the fashionable shopping district in Tokyo. So the postcard is identifying Kasuga Street as the "Ginza" of Mukden. The inset graphic in the bottom left shows three people playing a traditional East Asian board game - most likely Go (Igo) or a variant of chess.

The Japanese caption reads: Mukden's Little West Gate, part of the city wall that commemorates 300 years of history as the capital city.

The Japanese caption reads: Mukden Memorial Tower for the Loyal Dead This monument was constructed in Chiyoda Park (modern-day Zhongshan Park) in 1925 to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died during the Battle of Mukden in the Russo-Japanese War.

The Japanese caption reads: Mukden Grand Square Today, this location is known as Zhongshan Square in Shenyang. The large brick building visible on the left side of the background is the historic Shenyang Railway Station (formerly Fengtian Station).
