Help Identifying Japan Stamps

I can still not load / get all of your image or images. I am still working from the very first images you uploaded to the forum.

I think you need to reduce your file size to 90 kb or less per picture. Sometimes these larger pictures will load but not often at all with my connection and computer. Sorry.

I do enjoy hunting up these stamps. I a looking on ebay and my own saved Japan scans. Oh, I just remembered I have some black and white Japan pages photo-copied from a recent Scott catalog somewhere . . . .

The round yellow stamp is from the Letter Writing Day sheetlet 2002

Hi !

Some ask to have larger picture, if you want send me your e-mail adress ans I will send the picture, it can be easier for you to see them ?

Thanks !

Yes, I know others would like the larger large pictures. You did well by posting them like that.

However I cannot see all of the pictures so am limited in helping you.Wish I had a catalog too. haven't found those photo-copies yet.

I cannot send you and email (nor can you to me) as you need 50 posts on the forum on order for email to work through the forum. And since the forum is open for all to read I will not nor should you post your email in an open discussion.

Just be patient and I will get some more or someone with a catalogue will be along. It is the Memorial Day weekend in the States and was Victoria Day weekend in Canada so a lot of folks are away to the cottages or gone off fishing or what not. shoveling snow I hear for some.

You could go to library if possible) and use their Scott catalogs also.

HI !

I have scott catalogue but I don't find them, I have buy 800 stamps of Japan to start a collection but I can not find the last batch.

THanks !

any other help ?

Thanks !

If you had posted just a handful, say six
you may have had better response.
The amount you requested was daunting so I gave up
before trying.

I apologize for my slowness. I have been distracted by a new Canada stamp issue and having a cold makes looking at the monitor hard to do so I don't spend as much time at it, so some things fall by the wayside temporarily. You have been most patient.

The way I had been discovering what stamp was what was to look at ebay or DelCampe or BidStart and see if I see any of a similar stamp. Searching for a description (one word) of the subject on the stamp works too sometimes. Then, hopefully the seller will describe it in some way so you could narrow down your search in your catalog.

I will listen to my Time Management CD and be super-charged shortly.

Rod,

That's a great site, thanks for sharing!

Great for old diabetic eyes.

You're welcome Puzzler.
Yes the lot of the world-wide collector is not always
a happy one, one is constantly leafing through catalogues
and it is hard yakka.

Not helped by Israel, Greece and Japan in particular.
How hard is it to whack a date in the design?

Actually, not too hard at all.



One I haven't made yet. Still working on it.

Photo 1, row 2, end stamp, bear and bunny, Letter Writing Day 1999 80 yen sheetlet and also the next stamp, first on the next row, girl and violin? same 1999 sheetlet.

From your original pictures (I don't have Scott numbers, only SG, but the dates might help you):
1st stamp, 60y (1984) SG748, "Bonds" (Nobora Kanda) is 1 of 2 stamps for Disaster Prevention week.
2nd stamp, 500y from the definitive set that started in 1952 (although this one might be listed in Scott as 1955), SG670, "Bridge and Irises" (from lacquered box).
3rd stamp, 80y (1999), SG30, a Hokkaido Prefecture stamp, Cornfield (Northern Paradise - 1st series).
