Centennial of Japan-Mexico Treaty Issued on November 30, 1988 (Showa 63) The Japan-Mexico Treaty of Amity and Commerce was signed between Japan and Mexico in November 1888 (Meiji 21). It is an unequal treaty with no extraterritoriality and autonomy of customs duties, making it the first treaty for Mexico to conclude with an Asian country. This treaty was signed between Japan's plenipotentiary Mutsu Munemitsu and the Mexican minister to the United States, Matias Romero. The stamp was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of this treaty, and the "Crest of the Mexican flag" is designed.
