Kindergarten Centenary Issued on Nobember 16, 1976 (Showa 51)

Kindergarten Centenary Issued on Nobember 16, 1976 (Showa 51) The history of the kindergarten is said to have started in 1876 (Meiji 9) with the establishment of the kindergarten attached to Tokyo Women's Normal School (currently the kindergarten attached to Ochanomizu University). The foundation of the current kindergarten is laid after the end of the war, when the "School Education Law" was enacted in 1947 (Showa 22), and the kindergarten was also positioned as a school education institution. The stamp is issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Japanese kindergarten system, and is designed with "Kindergarten Pigeon's Nest Game".
