Expo 70 Osaka Sheet of 24 Poster Stamps Yusaku Kamekura Seals Official Poster
This is an unused sheet of 24 poster stamps or seals printed by the Japan Association for the 1970 World Exposition in 1967. They were meant to be placed on stationery, envelopes, etc to promote the Osaka Expo '70. (They are not postage stamps, since they weren't sold by a Post Office and do not have a denomination. The back doesn't look shiny like gummed stamps, but I am not going to lick them to see if they stick. ) This full sheet measures 8" x 8-3/4" (I didn't want to completely flatten it, since it has been folded in half since 1967 when it was mailed to the U.S.) Along the top of the sheet it says "Meet us at Expo '70". Along the left edge it says "Design by Yusaku Kamekura". The stamp design is very similar to the posters Yusaku Kamekura (the wording on the poster is a little different). These come in the original envelope from Japan Association for the 1970 World Exposition with an Overseas Courier Service postmark of Apr. 19, 1967. It also comes with the original letter from the Japan Association for the 1970 World Exposition asking the recipient to help with their publicity campaign by using these seals. The stamps are unused, in very good condition - there are a couple small marks on the back, possibly from fingerprints. A NICE COMPLETE SHEET OF EXPO '70 STAMPS THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT FRAMED! Postage is $3.50.
