Japan – Scott # 2166, used

Description

Japan (Nippon) — Red Flower Definitive Issue (Scott 2166)

This used definitive stamp from Japan, cataloged as Scott #2166, features a stylized red flowering plant depicted in a modern botanical style.

Issued in the 350¥ denomination, the stamp presents two vivid red blossoms set against a softly layered geometric background in green and blue tones. The design combines natural subject matter with abstract color fields, a hallmark of Japan’s late 20th-century definitive series, emphasizing visual balance and contemporary aesthetics.

Offered in used condition, the stamp shows a clear postal cancellation consistent with normal circulation. Color remains bright, the floral details are well defined, and perforations are intact. A strong companion piece to the lower-denomination floral definitives, and an attractive single for collectors of Japan, flowers on stamps, or modern design.
