Summary
| Description |
English: A picture postcard (postmarked August 9, 1914/Taisho 3) of Kirishima, a battlecruiser under construction at Mitsubishi Shipyards (Nagasaki) at the time. The writing on the leaf evokes the atmosphere of the times. The text says: "Europe's heaven and earth war cloud flies in turmoil in East Asia, and suddenly, how many people will be able to seize the last supremacy? I don't really feel like my bones are pounding, but I'm under the Mitsubishi heavyweight here. Don't you see the gallant figure of our newly built battleship Kirishima (Mama), which lays its gigantic hull resolutely like a giant lion that stands in the command without compromising its strength? The summer day of the third year of Taisho.
日本語: 当時、三菱造船所（長崎）で建造中の巡洋戦艦 霧島の絵葉書（1914/大正3年8月9日消印）を紹介します。葉面の文章から時代の雰囲気が偲ばれます。曰く
「欧州の天地戦雲乱れ飛びて東亜乃風雲又急に、果して何人がよく最後乃覇権を握り得るものぞ 我には実に骨鳴り肉動くの感なくんば御座なくは、当地三菱大起重機下に悠々迫らず将に立たんとする大獅子の如く毅然としてその巨大なる船体を横ゆるわが新造戦艦霧嶋（ママ）の勇姿を見ずや 金剛の姉妹二万七千噸のその勇姿を見ずや 大正三年夏日」 |
