The Red Cross project was started in 1863, and in 1864 the "Red Cross Treaty" was signed. 1939 (Showa 14) is 75 years since the conclusion of the Red Cross Treaty. Therefore, the International Red Cross Committee has designated November 15 of the same year as "Red Cross Day".The Ministry of Communications issued four kinds of stamps in commemoration of this.The designs are the Japanese Red Cross founder, Tsunetami Sano, and the Red Cross and the Earth.
