International Letter Writing - Week issue is an annual series since 1958, with the aim of contributing to the world peace by encouraging cultural exchanges among people of the world through letter writing. This year's stamps depict four posting stations from The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido by Utagawa Hiroshige that have never been selected for stamp design. |
