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:
