Special Delivery Stamp Issued on Jan. 21 , 1950 (Showa25) In January 1950, express stamps were issued for the purpose of speeding up mailing to remote islands in Okinawa. However, most of the delivery methods at that time were by ship, and it was delayed when typhoons and other bad weather conditions were bad. This is the only type of express delivery stamp in Okinawa.
