Letter Writing Day Issued on July 23, 1980 (Showa 55)

Letter Writing Day Issued on July 23, 1980 (Showa 55) In July 1980, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued the first "Fumi no Hi" campaign stamp. Fumi Day is his July 23rd anniversary, established by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in 1979. The purpose of issuing this stamp is to promote the use of mail by "inheriting the character culture through the enjoyment of letters and the joy of receiving letters." Since 1975, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has been developing a campaign to write letters for each region with the 23rd of every month as "Fumi Day", but since 1979, it will develop a campaign on a nationwide scale to make it a national movement.
It became so. After this, "Fumi no Hi" campaign stamps are issued every year. The stamps are designed with "child bears and letters" and "concluding letters".
