3418 - Tokyo, Japan

This card features some anime but there is nothing written on the card to show what series it is from. The sender wrote down the following quotation: Learning without conjugation is equal to ignorance, Yukichi Fukizawa 福澤 諭吉 (1835 - 1901). He was a Japanese educator, philosopher, writer, entrepreneur, and samurai. He founded Keio University 慶應義塾大学 and the Institute for Study of Infectious Diseases 東京大学医科学研究所.

Fukuzawa was a strong advocate for women's rights in Japan. He often spoke publicly about equality between a husband and wife. He promoted education for girls and boys. And he advocated for parents to love their children equally. 

Fukizawa appears on the Series E (2004)  ¥10 000 banknote.

3566 - Bakhmach, Chernihiv, Ukraine

Bakhmach is locarted in northern Ukraine. I'm taking this next paragraph straight out of Wikipedia: During the  Russian invasion of Ukraine  on February 26, 2022, at least 65 units of Russian military equipment moved through Bakhmach, with about a hundred more on the outskirts. Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards  Kyiv . One man attempted to climb onto a tank and block the road with his body (he was not hurt). However, the military equipment continued to move, and Russian forces fired several shots into the air. Слава Україні!
