National Land Afforestation Campaign Issued on May 16, 1997 (Heisei 9)
The "National Tree-Planting Festival" has been held every spring since 1950 as a central event of the National Land Afforestation Movement. Stamps for the National Land Afforestation Movement were issued in the past in 1948 and 1949. Stamps were issued again in 1971 to promote the National Land Afforestation Movement, and have been issued every year since then. The 1997 National Land Afforestation Stamp is designed with "Zao's Okama and Miyagi Nohagi".
