Centenary of Friendship between Japan and Argentina Issued on December 2, 1998 (Heisei 10)
The relationship between Japan and Argentina was established in 1898 by the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation. After that, the relationship between the two countries strengthened due to the migration of Japanese people, but the relationship between the two countries was temporarily cut off by the declaration of war on Japan by Argentina (March 1945) following World War II. After the resumption of diplomatic relations due to the conclusion of the peace treaty in 1952, the migration agreement (effective in 1963), the Friendship Trade and Navigation Treaty (effective 1967), and the technical cooperation agreement (effective in 1981) were concluded. The stamp is issued in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the conclusion of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the two countries, and is designed with "men and women dancing tango".
