Japan Revenue Series Unable To Identify.

I have been trying to identify this series of Japanese stamps and I'm having no luck.

Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.




I'm using the 3 sen mainly because its cleaner to see the total image better.

Thanks everyone.

They look like fiscals to me...

Thanks @billsey for the info.
Unfortunately I don't have a revenue catalog for Japan. Would you happen to have an online resource or know of an area to go look at?

Tax 1898
Shunyu Inshi
From 1898 to 1909
13 in set

@rod222 you are the one.

Where did you find them? I want details...

Help me help myself. #128522;

I have collected them for some time,
only reference I have is SCF and help here
I have posted scans of these here, I cannot locate them.
(I tried searchin "shunyu Inshi" without luck.

I have ordered and paid for the Japanese Revenue Catalogue
(circa $100) and anxiously awaiting its arrival to its new home.

I'll post when it lands.........

There is a Catalogue online (*.pdf) authored by Anker Nielsen
Try Googling that

example

I found your post here in the forum, on a google search. The topic was posted 10/26/2017. I have to get better at searching this forum. LOL.

Thanks again rod222. I would appreciate those cat numbers when they arrive thanks

Hey rod222 I just found this pdf of a classic book on Japan revenues. Found it at the University of Chicago of all places, check out the link.

I'm still looking for the other one.

Wow!

Well done you
I love those old catalogues, this, a new one for me.

Anker Nielson here......
click on image, auto download.

I just finished downloading it. LOL

Thanks again. This was enlightening and a fun discovery mission.

The "Explanatory Notes" in that old Catalogue is brilliant !
It shall be my Vade Mecum.

The SSJP -- Scandinavian Society for Japanese Philately -- regrettably dissolved in 2018, but its final chairman was indeed Anker Nielsen (same as the original author of the ISJP presentation), and he still maintains their website:

http://ssjp.dk/index.html

They have a very nice set of reference pages for Japanese revenues here:

http://eng.ssjp.dk/revenue/overviewrev.html

The only drawback to the revenue pages is that you already need to know what type of revenue it is in order to find the right page. (A little overview page would be fantastic, but I am grateful for the work already put into the site.)

So I find I have to click around a bit to find the right category, but that's a good opportunity to see some of the other revenue stamp types as well.

Hope this proves helpful, in addition to the other resources provided above.

@Philatarium I love these links. Thank you for posting them.

I have had a ton of fun hunting today. Found some great things and fantastic information and resources.

And Stamp Hunting, thanks for digging up the Kobayagawa catalog! I thought I knew what was available online, but I did not know about this resource.

And while I'm expressing gratitude, let me thank Rodney for causing me to learn a new Latin phrase today! I thought I was reasonably well-read and educated, but I had never heard of "Vade Mecum" before. Always good to get a touch of English boarding school! (Think I'll go fix a spot of tea!)

Well Philatarium I'm happy to be of help. Yes rod222 has also been invaluable on todays hunt. Lol

I love this forum.
