postcrossing #78
A postcard from Japan! But unluckily that the information of the bird on the postcard is hidden. So here comes the stamps first. The right stamp was released from 1970, due to the holding of Expo 70. Expo 70 was a World Fair held in Osaka. The theme of the Expo was “Progress and Harmony for Mankind.” The stamp features Kanto Festival (Lantarn Festival). The second stamp was released in 1978, showing paintings by Shunsho Katsukawa – Sumo Wrestling. It shows Jinmaku versus Raiden (I guess is the names of the competitors on the stamp). The third stamp shows Baron Maeshima. He founded the Japanese postage service and is known as “Father of the Postal System”.
