Commercial cover from Hattori Trading Co., Ltd., Ginza Yonchome, Tokyo, Japan, mailed to Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp., 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, N.Y., U.S.A. The envelope bears a single 20 sen blue Mount Fuji and Cherry Blossoms definitive tied by a Tokyo circular postmark.

The 20 sen stamp depicts Mount Fuji with cherry blossoms and was issued during the late pre-war/early Shōwa period. The exact Scott number depends on watermark and printing, which cannot be confirmed from the cover image alone, but it is one of the common 20 sen Mount Fuji definitives of the era.

Hattori Trading was the predecessor of today's Seiko organization and was heavily involved in international trade, making this an attractive piece of Japanese commercial postal history. The addressee, Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corporation, was a major American electronics manufacturer, adding additional commercial and industrial interest.
