India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, sent elephants to zoos in Japan, China, the Soviet Union, the United States, Germany, Turkey, Iran, Canada and the Netherlands as "as envoys of peace and goodwill". In May 1953, an elephant named Asha / Asa (阿萨) was gifted to the children of China. She was put on display in the Beijing Zoo (then called Western Suburb Park). This is a print from the fourth edition (August 1955).
