Please show the difference between [Meiji Granite Paper] and [Taisho Granite Paper] in your stamps. Examples would be appreciated.

I don't want to see generic granite paper. I want to see the difference between [Meiji Granite Paper] and [Taisho Granite Paper]!! *Specifically for Japanese revenue stamps. |

Are you asking for examples of the granite papers that were used during the respective periods? I'm not tracking on the question. |

Believe the last group you posted are Japanese postal savings stamps.
Believe the printing you see is referred to as "burlage". |

Does the same design, denomination, color combination appear on both Meiji granite paper and Taisho granite paper? |

Extension to Calstamp's advice Quote: Also, some stamps are printed on decorated paper, but it is not mentioned in the catalog and I don't know how to call this paper type. Referred to as BURELAGE or BURELE , if you will. Askphil click to enlarge  Quote: I don't know how to call this paper type.
It is not a paper type, it is possibly called a "Security printing"
Hmmm, you may be correct. I looked at the most famous example VENEZUELA, and "Winchester Security paper" So Japan may be similar. Sc#298 1930   |

Japan General Revenues 1898 White Paper v Granite Paper Download both scans Then "Toggle" between the two images You can see the red and blue lint, in the granite paper. Or click to enlarge the granite paper image (2nd scan) I shall assume the Taijo granite paper, to be similar in appearance.   |

There must be a difference, other than simple period of usage, because Hasegawa lists 'Meiji Granite Paper' for stamps issued in the Taisho period.  |

Hi Hilik Your featured scan on 01/05/2023 - it has some description about how they made paper, with some mixed bits when they make paper and when they started and so on. Maybe that will describe some nature? If you scan the ends better (I cannot read some ends), then I will translate. Tomoko p.s. by the way, did you see my translation for your earlier question on Japan Fiscal Stamps? http://goscf.com/t/82643 |
