Fuji Hakone (2nd Issue) National Park stamp Issued on July 15, 1949 (Showa 24)
In July 1949 (Showa 24), the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (the Ministry of Communications was split and succeeded in May of the same year) issued four types of Fuji Hakone National Park stamps. The first Fuji Hakone National Park stamp was already issued in 1936 (Showa 11), but the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunica- tions issued it again in preference to other unissued national parks as a representative scenic spot in Japan. At the same time, a small sheet was issued. From this time on, the back glue has been applied to the small sheets.
