Stamps Commemorating Friendship Year Unveiled


The Kyushu branch of Japan Post and the Busan post office in South Korea unveiled their respective versions of postage stamps to commemorate the Fukuoka-Busan Friendship Year. Both countries’ stamps feature scenes of tourist attractions and local festivals. Fukuoka will issue 15,000 sheets of 10 80-yen stamps in a commemorative frame to be sold for 1,200 yen. Busan will sell sets of 14 250-won stamps by application only. Because Japan Post will sell only those stamps it issues, and not handle the Korean stamps, the Nishinippon Shimbun will help out by selling sets of both countries’ stamps with explanations of the sites depicted.
