'Iris Screen, Philately Week' - Japan, 2017
Japan Philately Week 2017 covers from Yokohama and Tokyo, Japan to New York, US, posted on Apr 20, 2017. Thank you Masako and Ban-No.
This year, the Philately Week stamps feature a folding screen 'Iris Screens' by Edo period painter Ogata Korin (1658 - 1716). A similar stamp was issued in 1970 to commemorate the Expo '70 (日本万国博覧会) held in Osaka.
