Promoting Reforestation Issued on May 1, 1961 (Showa36)

Promoting Reforestation Issued on May 1, 1961 (Showa36) Following the All-Ryukyu Greening Movement, which started in 1959, a commemorative stamp for this social movement was issued in 1961. At that time, Okinawa became the last fierce battlefield of the Pacific War, and a huge amount of nature and facilities were severely destroyed, and restoration by the Ryukyu government and the private sector was a major mission. The All Ryukyu Green Stamp was also issued in 1963 to promote it.
