Tetsuharu Kawakami, the "God of Batting" is seen here in a glorious close-up batting stance. Kawakami's surname and the Marusaka Company logo are the only text on the card. All Marusaka cards that we know of were printed in 1947 or 1948. In this case, we are not certain of the year, so we cannot say definitively whether this is a 1947 Kawakami rookie card or not.
