The Invitation to Stamp Collecting Series is a series of special stamps (500-yen denomination) issued to encourage people to appreciate the beauty and artistry of postage stamps from new perspectives and to spark wider public interest and enthusiasm.
The third installment, released on March 11, 2026, focuses on ukiyo-e. The four stamps feature selected works by Hokusai and Hiroshige depicting spring landscapes with cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Reproductions of ukiyo-e masterworks produced by the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints were used in the design of this stamp sheet. To mark the release, the Adachi Institute’s Mejiro Showroom will hold an exhibition of cherry blossom ukiyo-e by Hokusai and Hiroshige. We look forward to welcoming you.
*Special stamps are available for purchase at Japan Post offices and the Japan Post online shop.
