The
Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has been issuing postage stamps
carrying designs of the regional scenery, customs and events of Japan,
called Regional stamps, since 1989. Its purpose is to contribute to
the development of the regional community by introducing the regional
scenery and so forth throughout Japan, and to provide better postal
services for local people. For us, people living outside Japan, the
regional stamps (known also as Prefecture stamps) are an interesting source
of information about this beautiful country.
