    友人からの情報ですが、立命館大学アートリサーチセンターの大映京撮プロジェクトのウェブページに1951/53年の大映撮影所の名簿が載っていて、その経理部に「長寿子」さんの名前があります。

    Translation of a comment sent in by email from Morihiro:

    One of my colleague has suggested me that the the list of workers at Daiei Kyoto Studio is uploaded in the webpage of Daiei Kyoto Studio Project of the Ritsumeikan University’s Art Research Center, in which the name of Osa Hisako? 長寿子 can be found in the accountants’ department.

  2. 切手は5円、昭和26年から41年まで(1951-66)が、はがきが5円で送れる時代です。
    文中の青森県大鰐町は、美味なりんごで有名。長谷川さんが、翌年のカレンダーのお礼に京都の人に何を送ろう?と、その年の収穫したてのりんごを選ぶ様子が想像できますね。晩秋の能代に雪が降る様子も。
    Sending a post card cost 5 yen between 1951 and 1966. The town Owani in Aomori is famous for delicious apples. One can imagine that Hasegawa san would have chosen a box of fresh apples harvested in that autumn in return for the calendar of the following year. The first snow in very late autumn in Noshiro could be seen, too.
