Description: Japanese 2 sen green definitive depicting Mount Fuji across a calm landscape, with the imperial chrysanthemum crest above and decorative framing around the scene. It belongs to the scenic turn of Taishō-period design, where national landscape began to stand alongside older imperial motifs.
Circa: 1920s
Condition: Used and cancelled.
Notes:
The 2 sen value was widely employed for postcards and other routine domestic mail. Mount Fuji’s familiar silhouette gave the issue a strong national identity while keeping it within the everyday world of ordinary correspondence.
