Ocean Series Issued on 1972(Showa47)

Ocean Series Issued on 1972(Showa47) The ocean in Okinawa is beautiful because the current facing it is the Kuroshio Current, also known as the Japan Current. The Kuroshio is characterized by oligotrophic and low plankton. In addition, the current of the ocean current is fast, so the seawater is not turbid and clear. These are the major factors that make the sea of Okinawa infinitely transparent. The stamps were issued by designing three scenic spots on the beautiful sea of Okinawa.
