In September 1932 (Showa 7), Japan approved Manchuria. Ten years later, in September 1942 (Showa 17), the Ministry of Communications issued two kinds of stamps to commemorate it. 2 sen and 10 sen depict a shrine in Manchuria (which enshrines the Japanese god), 5 sen depicts a child in Japan and Manchuria, and 20 sen depicts a "coat of arms" of Manchuria.
