Japan – Scott # 2167A, used

Description

This used commemorative stamp from Japan, Scott #2167A, features a delicate illustration of violets, flowers traditionally associated in Japanese culture with modesty, springtime, and quiet beauty. Issued with a denomination of 430 yen, the design continues Japan’s modern botanical series that blends naturalistic detail with contemporary graphic styling.

The stamp depicts a small cluster of purple violet blossoms with heart-shaped green leaves, rendered in soft tones and fine linework. The layered green background uses angular color fields to frame the flowers without overpowering them, allowing the blossoms’ form and color to remain the focal point. The composition reflects late-20th-century Japanese stamp aesthetics that favor clarity, balance, and restrained elegance.

This issue is especially appealing to collectors of flowers on stamps, botanical subjects, and modern Japanese nature-themed issues.

The stamp is offered used, with a visible cancellation, clear floral detail, and sound overall appearance.
