Asian Cultural Congress Issued on March 27, 1959 (Showa 34) In March 1958, the "Asia Cultural Conference for the 2500th Anniversary of the Birth of Buddha" was held in Tokyo, inviting 70 participants from 20 countries from Asian countries. Originally, the Japanese Constitution allows the country to participate in specific religious events. Although it is forbidden, this conference was held due to the political consideration of the then Prime Minister Shinsuke Kishi's Asian friendship policy. The stamp is designed with an Asian map.
