100th of the Land Erosion Control Issued on June 27, 1981 (Showa 56) Several sabo dams remain in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture. The area was inspected and instructed by De Lakee in 1880. He also inspected the Kiso River from the upstream in August 1880 and instructed the construction method at the sabo construction site of the large cliff. The Sabo Law was enacted in 1897 (Meiji 30) and became the founder of the modern sabo business.
The stamp was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sabo, and the "sabo dam" was designed.
