With the signing of the Japan and United States of America Mail Exchange Agreement in 1873, Japan began handling overseas mail in 1875. Three stamp types were issued to be used on mail destined for overseas. Each design featured a bird, which led to their popular designation as the 'Bird stamps.'
From these stamps on, all processes, including production of the original plates and printing, were carried out by the government mint. - Buy Now:

- Description:
- Postal volume increased year by year. Printing using hand-engraved plates was no longer able to keep pace with the demand for stamps. Under the guidance Edoardo Chiossone, an Italian, who was invited by the mint, stamps were produced using the new method of relief printing.
The stamps are commonly known as the 'Small Coin stamps,' for the picture in the center of the design. These were used for many years, from 1876 to 1899, and were the first stamps to have the words 'Refined edition,' indicating the production method, printed on the bottom of the sheet. - Buy Now:

- Description:
- Use of the Imperial Chrysanthemum Crest Abolished and Designs With a Wartime Theme Prohibited After the end of the war in 1945, Japan's establishments began to embrace democracy and peace. In 1947 the Allied Forces general headquarters abolished the twenty-five types of stamps with militaristic designs and which were still in use at the time. A competition for a design appropriate for the new post-war era of peace was held. A stamp with the winning design was issued as part of a new group which became known as the 'New-Showa stamps.' At this time, the characters for "Japanese Empire Post" were replaced by the characters for "Japan Post" and in 1948, use of the imperial chrysanthemum crest on stamps was abolished. From 1947 (2nd Showa serie), the characters appearing on the stamp were arranged in order from left to right, opposite to the previous order of the characters.
