Description: This 10-sen definitive postage stamp belongs to the highly collectible first Showa Series issued by the Empire of Japan. The artwork showcases a detailed perspective of the iconic Nagoya Castle, originally constructed by Tokugawa Ieyasu in the early seventeenth century. Positioned dead-center at the absolute top is the stylized sixteen-petal chrysanthemum symbol of the Emperor, which is flanked by the characters "大日本郵便" (Great Japan Post) reading right-to-left. The denomination "10 SEN" is clearly detailed at the bottom corners, partially overlaid on this specimen by a heavy, traditional black circular date handstamp cancellation.
Circa: 1937-1940
Condition: Used
