New Year Greeting stamp Showa24 Issued on December 13, 1948
Japanese New Year stamps have not been issued since the suspension of sales after the issuance of New Year stamps in 1937 (Showa 13), but after the war, the issuance of New Year stamps was decided again, and it was reissued in December 1948. The design is "girl with feathers". Since then, New Year stamps have been issued every year, but New Year's postcards have not yet been issued.
By the way, due to the turmoil after the war, the people still couldn't afford to issue a New Year's card. " Therefore, the number of issues was only 7.5 million.
