Kojima Bay Reclamation Dike
Issued on February 1, 1959 (Showa 34)

Kojima Bay Reclamation Dike Issued on February 1, 1959 (Showa 34) The Kojima Bay Closed Embankment is an embankment that connects Okayama Port in Okayama Prefecture to the county district. Construction began in 1951 and completed in 1959 to solve problems such as water shortages, salt damage, and inundation of reclaimed land by making the estuary of the river that flows into the bay a freshwater lake.
The stamp is designed with a map of the reclaimed land and a tractor.
