My stamp club has had no luck in identifying these stamps. Does anyone know the origin of these stamps and if the red feather means anything?

Thanks
Mike

How interesting!

These are Japanese cinderellas, and the red feather must be the symbol for some domestic charity. The writing on them basically says something similar to "for the children."

The red feather is the symbol of Japan's annual charity drive

That's not a feather, that's a red chile pepper.

These are lunch coupons from a cafeteria.

I know, because I googled it.

Cheers,

It pretty much says "children touring beautiful places" (the last kanji is difficult to make out) . Indeed it is a red feather (akai hane) which is the symbol of a one of the major charity drives in Japan.
