Issued on November 1, 1978 (Showa 53)
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has issued a stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory. Tokyo Astronomical Observatory (currently National Astronomical Observatory of Japan; renamed NAOJ) is a Japanese research institute / interuniversity research institute that studies astronomy from both theoretical and observational perspectives. It is also one of the research institutes that make up the National Institute of Natural Sciences. Some observatories such as Hawaii Observatory outside Japan, Mitaka Campus, etc.I am doing research activities at. By the way, in October 1953, a stamp commemorating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Tokyo Observatory was issued in front of this stamp.
