Centenary of the Greek and Japanese Relationship Issued on June 1, 1999 (Heisei 11)
Diplomatic relations were established between Japan and Greece in 1899 when the Japan-Greece Friendship Commerce and Navigation Treaty was signed. In 1923, the Greek legation was set up in Tokyo, and full-scale exchanges began, but diplomatic relations were cut off after World War II. However, diplomatic relations were restored again after the war, and the embassy was upgraded to an embassy. Since then, the two countries have built friendly relations in all areas. The stamp is issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Japan and Greece, and is designed with "Toros (Delphi Ruins)".
