The 50th Anniv. of Japan's Membership in Unesco Issued on July 2, 2001 (Heisei 13)
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was established on November 4, 1946. Japan joined in 1951, before joining the United Nations. Then, from the 1950s to the 1960s, new independent countries in Asia and Africa joined one after another, and most of the member countries were occupied by southern countries. The stamp is issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Japan's Yumesuko membership, and is designed with "Japanese summer flowers and pigeons."
