This classic Japanese definitive stamp, issued in 1948, depicts a traditional female rice field worker wearing a wide straw hat and carrying a woven basket, symbolizing the nation’s agricultural heritage in the post-war rebuilding period. Printed in a rich green shade, the design emphasizes Japan’s deep connection to rice cultivation, a cornerstone of its culture and economy. The stamp belongs to the “Occupation Era” definitives, known for their simple, rustic artistry and strong cultural themes. Its clean engraving lines, textured shading, and unmistakable rural motif make it a cherished piece for collectors focused on Japan, agriculture, or post-war philately. A well-struck cancellation often adds to its character.
