I am selling a vintage commemorative stamp from China, "People's Republic of China Stamp Exhibition Japan." Catalog Number: J.63 Issue Date: April 29, 1981 Issuing Authority: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China Background of the Issue: The "People's Republic of China Stamp Exhibition," jointly organized by the China National Philatelic Corporation and the Japan Philatelic Association, was held in Kobe from April 29 to May 5, 1981, in Nagoya from May 14 to 18, and in Tokyo from May 21 to 23 of the same year. The exhibition featured stamps of the People's Republic of China, as well as stamps from the Qing Dynasty (1878-1911), the Republic of China era (1912-1949), and the Chinese Revolutionary War era (1929-1950), with a total of over 800 sets and over 3,700 stamps on display. In addition, many valuable items were exhibited, including early postal artifacts, original stamp designs, original drawings, engraving plates, manuscripts, and printing proofs. To commemorate the opening of the People's Republic of China Stamp Exhibition in Kobe on April 29, 1981, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China issued this commemorative stamp. The design of this stamp is called "Friendship Blossoms." At the center of the design, several color blocks symbolizing stamps are arranged, representing the stamp exhibition. For stamp collectors, the Panda stamp, catalog number Te59, issued in 1963, is widely known. It is left to the imagination of the stamp collectors to determine which Chinese stamps the color blocks in the design represent. In the background, a cluster of densely blooming cherry blossoms is depicted, symbolizing Japan, the host country of the stamp exhibition. April is the peak season for cherry blossoms, and the scenery of the blooming flowers seems to express the friendship between the people of China and Japan. This is an actual used stamp from that time. Although there are some wrinkles, it is generally in good condition for a used stamp from that era. Please check the images for details. No returns or exchanges (NCNR). Shipping costs will be covered by the seller.
