Blue Geese

Picture
Blue Geese
Blue Geese [Scott #387: $0.28 used] was issued during 1947-48 [#512A unwatermarked was issued 1950-52]. The stamp was a re-issue of First Geese [Scott #365: $0.52 used], an ungummed, imperforate stamp issued 1946-47. Blue Geese was redrawn with the Japanese characters reading from left to right, the overall design changed in color from olive bister to light blue. The printing was by typography rather than lithography, and the stamp was printed on perforated, gummed paper. The original design was adapted from a print by the famous master of printing, Hokusai.
