[Note on the Stamps]
International Letter-Writing Week issue is an annual series since 1958,
with the aim of contributing to the world peace by encouraging cultural
exchange amongst people of the world through letter writing. This year's
stamps depict three posting stations from " The Fifty-Three Stations
of the Tokaido" and one more painting by Utagawa Hiroshige that have
never been selected for stamp design.
