Uknown Japanese Stamp Need Help Please

I do Hope I am doing this right, if not please forgive me!
Could anyone Identify this Japanese stamp if so many thanks.


Thank you all for answering my question, the stamp was identified by the first responder. the image was taken from a 1965 stamp album. I collected stamps years ago and gave up. recently I restated collecting stamp again and have a vast range of Great Britain stamp.
I saw my first stamp album up for sale, and bought it. my quest now is to buy all the headed stamp off each page, which I am loving, the only thing is I need help to Identify some, which comes to my next post. once again many thank to all that answered.

Welcome to the Forum.

If you use the Scott catalogue, look at Scott 234 issued in Dec 1936. As issued the stamp color was rose carmine.

As I'm certain others will agree, the clearer a topic heading and the better an image posting the greater the potential response.

"Wedded Rocks" at Hutami-ga-ura, Uzi-Yamada.

Japan's first example of printing in Photogravure.
Issued December 1936
as Calsatmp advised 1.5 Sen Rose
Considered an "New Year Stamp"

We need an extended scan of the item, to suggest what it may be.
Was not issued Black, as far as I know.
Does it have Perforations? Cut by Scissors? on sheet Paper etc ?

looks like a cut out from an album or magazine illustration...

The print quality is so poor, so blotchy, that I'm thinking this was a printed image cut out of a publication. Perhaps from a stamp album, a publicity announcement, or, maybe most likely, from a newspaper.

Although some funky things show up in the wartime definitive issues (although nothing this extreme that I can think of), this was a New Year's stamp.

Sometimes when people show items that are a different color than normal, or imperf, then a logical step is to see if there is a postal stationery item that could be the source. In this case, Japan did issue New Year's postal cards, but it started in 1949 and nothing like this design.

Without knowing any more about it, my bet would still be it's a cutout from a newspaper or a poor-quality announcement.
