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:

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:
