Help identfying Japanese (?) stamp
Here's your chance to show off.
Just went through a load of kiloware, was left with one stamp I couldn't identify: http://cjoint.com/data/erelAICaHj.htm I believe it is Japanese. It is an view of Mt. Fuji in orange, with a chrysanthemum crest above and stylized cherry blossoms and clouds (?) in the foreground. It appears to be the same design as the 20 sen definitive from the 1942 series, with a different color and denomination. It is typographed, ungummed, imperforate, and unused. Help? Scott preferred, but anything with a date and service role would assist me. Thank you, -- Joshua McGee ‹(•¿•)› APS, ATA, ISWSC, AFDCS, MBPC, MCC, BPS Pasadena, California, USA http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ |

SG417 (1945) T146 10s [1m0] imperf orange.jpg for future ref this is the set to which it belongs http://cjoint.com/data/ereSGH0Tyz.htm web image Thank you, and thank you. With this info, I cross-referenced with Scott. It's Scott #355 red orange, valued at minimum catalog value used and unused. Looks like I was wrong about typography -- the catalogue notes offset lithography. Whatever was used, it's rather primitive. It looks like (for some reason) the Japanese government had other things than stamps to spend money on from 1945 to 1947. Got all the kiloware sorted now. Thank you. -- Joshua McGee ‹(•¿•)› APS, ATA, ISWSC, AFDCS, MBPC, MCC, BPS Pasadena, California, USA http://www.mcgees.org/stamp-offers/ |

"Joshua McGee" Thank you, and thank you. With this info, I cross-referenced with Scott. It's Scott #355 red orange, valued at minimum catalog value used and unused. I have always had particular fondness for that stamp in particular. I find the design marvelous, and possibly a die hard relative of the "art deco" period. It's a pity the others in the series didn't follow in the same vein. I don't enjoy the familiarity that comes with having a catalogue explanation of the set. If I were a betting man, I'd put a tanner on the designer being one with the issues of the Japanese occupation of Burma. Another set I find attractive. |

Having had a friend who was in the British Army in Burma, he found life during the Japanese Occupation much less attractive than you find their stamps. Blair |

My trimester at Concordia on "Ingmar Bergman: The God Years" was hell, but Sweden's October 81 Andersson/Sylwan issue is still one of my favorite stamps. http://cjoint.com/data/errmbZqFxu.htm Alas, the topic escapes me, having little knowledge on Bergman, however, the image illustrates why I like my stamps in high definition, the poignancy of the single yellow rose, in the picture could almost be missed. ( I presume signifying jealousy or dying love) Goodness knows we have a lot to despise the Japanese for, here in Australia, both during the war, and the present slaughter of our whales, but to convict by association, of a gentleman with a burin, working under a magnifying glass, imho is in error, yet I do understand the connection. |

Blair I earn my living as a Japanese translator, so you may care to discount what I have to say ... but they were brutal times, and the story is a lot more complex than the crude victor's version. (Inter alia, a little reading about the British behaviour in Hong Kong immediately before the arrival of the Japanese might be salutary. None of which excuses the excesses by either side.) But I might add that I've heard more genuine remorse from ordinary Japanese for what they did, than I've heard from any of 'our' side for what we did. Tony |
