SPRING HAS COME!

An extraordinarily cold winter in Japan has ceased and now we can enjoy a comfortable season of spring with so many flower-blossoms typically represented by the Cherry Blossoms which are already depicted in so many Japanese stamps and hence well-known for the lovers of Japanese stamps.

We are going to hold the annual stamp exhibition in this season, namely the STAMPSHOW (from April 28 through 30) in its customary venue in Asakusa, one of the most traditional spots reminding us of the old Yedo days.

In STAMPSHOW, Open Class and Topical Class will be highlighted.

We are wishing the revitalization of philately through this annual exhibition in this flourishing season.
