The 15th Red Cross International Conference
Issued on October 1, 1934 (Showa 9)
In October 1934, the Red Cross International Conference (15th) was held in Tokyo. Japan established "Hakuaisha" to care for the sick in the 1877 South-western War. After that, when the government joined the International Red Cross Treaty in 1886 (Meiji 19), "Hakuaisha" was renamed to "Japanese Red Cross Society". From this stamp, the UPU regulation "Japan Post" was rewritten as "Dainippon(Great Japan) Imperial Postl".
