New Year Greeting stamp Showa41 Issued on December 10, 1965
The 1965 New Year stamp was issued on December 15, 1964 (Showa 39). In this year as well, 4 yen (475 million) New Year's postcards with donations and 4 yen face value + 1 yen donated postcards (610 million) were issued. 33 million (1 / 30th Against postcards) New Year stamps were issued. This year, the ratio of stamps has increased significantly in the issuance of New Year's postcards and New Year's stamps. The reason is that the profit from issuing New Year stamps (held unused due to the stamp boom of this year) is larger than the profit from postcards with donations (New Year postcards were exchanged for ordinary postcards when not used). It is probable that it was judged that. (The number of issues issued around this time has more than tripled from about 10 million a few years ago.) The design is the Iwate toy "Shonobi- goma", and a "small sheet" was distributed as a New Year's postcard sweepstakes.
