Issued on 1926 (Taisho 15)-1937 (Showa 12)
In 1937 (Showa 12), UPU revised (raised) the postage again. As a result, Fuji deer stamps were issued with the print color changed again. By the way, at that time, the paper was being switched to the white paper of "Showa stamp" which was already scheduled to be issued, so the Fuji deer stamp was also changed to white paper. In other words, the "Showa Kegami stamps" and "Showa white paper stamps" issued at about the same time had the same design and the same color, and only the printing paper was changed.In this year, almost all regular stamps were changed to the "Showa stamp series" instead of the previous Tazawa stamps (1913-1937), so the issuance of Tazawa stamps for 24 years has ended.
