Philatelic Week Issued on Nobember 1, 1947 (Showa 22)

Philatelic Week Issued on Nobember 1, 1947 (Showa 22) The Ministry of Communications has set a week as "Stamp Hobby Week" from November 1, 1947, and has begun to popularize it.However, the design of the first stamp was poor. It is a small sheet with 5 Hokusai Fuji 1-yen stamps, which lacks design. Initially, it was planned to use the vertical size of national park stamps to place Japan's first dragon stamp and Britain's first penny black,but due to lack of preparation period, this level was reached. It will be a scene that reflects the postwar turmoil.
