In October 1940 (Showa 15), it was 50 years since the "Educational Charter" was promulgated, and two kinds of stamps were issued to commemorate this. The “Educational Charter” was introduced by the government to the people for the purpose of protecting ancient Japanese morals and etiquette against the active adoption of Western culture since the Meiji Restoration.
