Help Me Identify This Cinderella?

Hi Rod and all,

Apologies for not being so active recently and thus a bit belated reply to the Japanese Almanac; your example looks like the "small" format used for sheet-type almanac. These stamps were attached to Japanese almanacs in Meiji era, where the Japanese government decided to control the publication of almanacs. Here's an example of the "large" format used for Meiji 10 (1877) almanacu from my album page.

Hironobu,
thank you.

May all the Philatelists that inherit my collection in the next century, enjoy your contributions, (In my pages) as I have.
Saved as an album page.

Almanack (aka Almanac)
An almanac is an annual publication listing a set of events forthcoming in the next year.

It includes information like weather forecasts, farmers' planting dates, tide tables, and other tabular data often arranged according to the calendar. Celestial figures and various statistics are found in almanacs, such as the rising and setting times of the Sun and Moon, dates of eclipses, hours of high and low tides, and religious festivals.

I thought this would be a good opportunity to revive this thread...


I recently acquired the cinderella stamp below in a worldwide mixed lot and I could not find anything about it - has someone seen it or something similar before please?
