Philatelic Exhibition in Sapporo Issued on Nobember 27, 1947 (Showa 22)

Philatekic Exhibition in Sapporo Issued on Nobember 27, 1947 (Showa 22) In November 1947 (Showa 22), the postage stamp exposition that expanded nationwide was held in Sapporo, Hokkaido.The coal miner's stamp used in the design of this stamp is very interesting. After the end of the war, all Japanese stamps are written as Japan Post except for this stamp, but this stamp has the prewar "Dainippon Imperial Postage Stamp" and "Chrysanthemum Crest" drawn on it.At that time, coal mines were the main industry area in Hokkaido, but the fact that these stamps were issued and distributed even after the war can be said to indicate the social situation at that time.
