Children's Day Issued on May 5, 1962 (Showa37)

Children's Day Issued on May 5, 1962 (Showa37) Children's Day is one of the national holidays of Japan and is set on May 5th. In Japan, "Tango no Sekku" is a boy's anniversary, but "Children's Day" does not distinguish between men and women. It is also a day to thank my mother for giving birth to a child. Stamps are issued to commemorate Children's Day and are designed with "Adan work and kokeshi dolls".
