  1. 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.

    1. Purposefully, I decided not to add the themes to the post. But I confess that the second one also puzzled me when I found out!

    1. As @Joy wrote, the stamps commemorates the 50th Anniv of Japanese Broadcasting Corporation, and the illustration is "a 20th Century Shiko Munakata woodblock print called Sight and Hearing".
