It was held every year from 1948 to 1982 in even-numbered years until it was interrupted by World War II, and the year of the Winter Olympic Games doubled as a world championship. 1985 Since then, it has been held in odd-numbered years and has become an independent tournament. The stamp was issued in commemoration of this tournament held in Japan in February 1993, and is designed for "Super-G Giant Slalom and Downhill".
