In November 1921 (Taisho 10), Prince Hirohito was appointed "Regent" after returning from Europe. The reason is that Emperor Taisho was ill for a long time, and he needed an agent to execute it. At that time, Taiwan was a territory of Japan, and the visit of the next Emperor had the purpose of increasing Taiwanese loyalty and subordinate awareness. The stamp design is "Niitakayama" (3950m higher than Mt. Fuji).
