The stamps picturize four orchids from Singapore as for 50s yen and 80s yen and depict two scenes from "Flowers and Birds of the Four Seasons", the paiting work by Sakai Hoitsu as for 90 yen and 110 yen. The sheet also bears self-adhesive seals to decorate or seal the mail. "Hotstamp" technique is adopted to transfer metallic or plastic foil by high pressure and high temperature for the special effects and price.
