吉田松陰百年祭・全国PTA大会 1959年（昭和34年）10月27日発行 吉田松陰は、幕末に松下村塾の中心として、多くの明治維新のリーダーを育てた著名な学者である。海外無断渡航失敗で入獄された後、松下村塾で教鞭をとり、多くの若者が集まった。しかし、反幕府活動により1859年「安政の大獄」で江戸に送られ死罪となった。吉田松陰は、松下村塾に学んだ伊藤博文らによって、明治維新を創成した「教育者」として神格化された。切手は、山口県で開催された「第7回全国PTA大会」に併せて発行されたが、関連性はない。当時、首相は山口県出身の岸信介で、この発行は首相の意向の可能性があると推測される。
Centenary of Shoin Yoshida and PTA Congress Issued on October 27, 1959 (Showa 34) Shoin Yoshida is a prominent scholar who nurtured many leaders of the Meiji Restoration as the center of the Shokasonjuku Academy at the end of the Edo period. After he was imprisoned for failing to travel abroad, he taught at the Shokasonjuku Academy and many young people gathered.However, he was sent to Edo in 1859 in the "Ansei Purge" due to anti-shogunate activities and was found guilty of death. Shoin Yoshida was deified as an "educator" who created the Meiji Restoration by Hirobumi Ito（First Prime Minister) and others who studied at Shokasonjuku Academy.The stamp was issued in conjunction with the "7th National PTA Tournament" held in Yamaguchi Prefecture, but it is not relevant. At that time, the prime minister was Nobusuke Kishi from Yamaguchi prefecture, and it is speculated that this issue may be the intention of the prime minister.
