Kawabata Ryushi | Letter

Private letter addressed to Mr. Harada a tobacco store owner and art collector in Tokyo. Kawabata writes: "Dr Handa came recently together with Okiyo Yoichi. He looked well but very busy. - The other day I received this very good tabacco from you. I only looked at it and now I am waiting for an occasion to smoke it. - These days I have neighbors comming for paintings. I didn't catch a cold recently. When I have time I stay in my studio, so I can work hard. I'll come up to see and greet you later." -  21th day of 12th month. Sincerely, Kawabata Ryushi.
