Since the surface of the printing plates for the Dragon sen stamps had become worn, new printing plates were engraved with a different design and the previous two printing colors were replaced by a single hue.
These are known as the 'Cherry Blossom stamps,' as the flower appears in each of the four corners of the stamp. The imperial chrysanthemum crest and the words 'Postage stamp' also appeared for the first time. All stamps in this issue had perforations and glue.
Starting with this stamp, the imperial chrysanthemum crest appeared on every stamp for a period of approximately 75 years until 1947. - Buy Now:

To guarantee the number of stamps issued as well as the face value, a tiny character from the katakana syllabary was included within the printed area.
From February of 1874, stamps were printed on Western paper instead of Japanese paper.
The same katakana character appeared on each of the forty stamps on one sheet. The earlier katakana characters were printed using original plates engraved by a non-government group, and the latter ones were printed using government-engraved plates. In 1875 the katakana characters were eliminated to simplify the engraving process. - Buy Now:
