Philatelic Week Issued on April 19, 2002 (Heisei 14)
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued stamp hobby weekly stamps in April 2002. This time, the "Kamo Horse Racing Folding Screen" was adopted. The Kamo Horse Racing Folding Screen is a folding screen that depicts the "horse racing society Shinto ritual," which is the Shinto ritual of Kamigamo Shrine in the 17th century during the Edo period. From left to right, a jockey wearing a dance costume runs through the fence provided in the lower half of the screen. A total of 6 sets are drawn at the same time, including those before the start of the race.
