Crown Prince Hirohito Wedding Ceremony
November 1923 (Taisho 12) Not issued
In November 1923 (Taisho 12), Prince Hirohito was planning to have a wedding with Princess Kuninomyai Nagako. However, both the stamp and the original plate were destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake that occurred on September 1st of the same year. Therefore, it was not issued to the public. By the way, a few stamps that had been sent in advance to the Palau of the Trusteeship were returned and distributed to the people related to the royal family.
