I love classic scenes on Japanese and Chinese stamps. I wondered about the second one and couldn't decide if it was modern or old. I'd never have guessed its theme -50th Anniv of Japanese Broadcasting Corporation which they have used a 20th Century Shiko Munakata woodblock print called Sight and Hearing.
ReplyDeletePurposefully, I decided not to add the themes to the post. But I confess that the second one also puzzled me when I found out!
DeleteThe Chinese art is so exquisitely detailed.
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteThat second stamp from Japan is intriguing. These are a colourful lot.
