In 1944 (Showa 19), at the end of the Pacific War, inflation became severe due to a shortage of supplies and a decline in monetary value. The price of stamps has been raised accordingly, and the printing method has become simpler than before. In addition, because the cost was also limited, the above 6 types were diverted from "Manka" postage stamps and some of the 4th definitive stamps.
