International Congress of Entomology
Issued on August 2, 1980 (Showa 55)
The International Congress of Entomology is the most comprehensive international conference on entomology in general. Since the first conference was held in Brussels, Belgium in 1910, it has been held almost every four years, except during the turmoil of World War II. The stamp was issued in commemoration of the 16th International Congress of Entomology held in Tokyo, and the "Gifcho" is designed.
