Nikko National Park stamp Issued on December 25, 1938 (Showa 13) - Specimen -
The Fuji-Hakone National Park stamps were well received by stamp collectors, so the Ministry of Communications decided to issue all 12 national park stamps. This stamp depicts a representative landscape of Nikko, a scenic spot that enshrines Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first shogun of the Edo period. For foreign collectors, a "small sheet" with four kinds of stamps and a commentary was put on the market.
