Japan: The 150th Anniversary of Japan-Sweden Diplomatic Relations

2018 is the year that marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Sweden in 1868. This special Anniversary year will be celebrated through a range of activities in both Japan and Sweden. Sweden was one of the first countries to have established relations with Japan in the Meiji era. Because of this special occasion Japan Post issued a set of 10 stamps. Each one of them is showing something typical for the country.

I'm happy to receive two of these stamps on a cover sent from Nihonbashi Post Office with very nice first-day-cancellations.


Stamps:
The 150th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations with Sweden 2018 (from a set of 10) - Issued: 02-08-2018


Many thanks to Mitsuhiko for this nice cover!
