Description

Japan – Scott #1351–1355 (Mint Never Hinged)

This compelling five-stamp commemorative group, issued in 1978–1979, highlights a range of social, technological, educational, and cultural themes reflecting Japan’s late-20th-century priorities. Unified by bold modern graphic design, the set captures a moment when Japanese stamp art embraced symbolism, abstraction, and international visual language.

The designs include themes of family and population awareness, telecommunications modernization, special education, traditional culture, and medical history, each rendered in a distinct visual style. Together, Scott #1351–1355 form a fascinating snapshot of civic values and public messaging during a period of rapid social change.

Denominations range from 20 to 50 yen, covering multiple contemporary postal rates and adding postal-history interest alongside the thematic appeal. All stamps in this group are mint never hinged (MNH), with full original gum and no evidence of mounting, making the set particularly attractive to condition-conscious collectors.

An excellent choice for collectors of modern Japan, graphic design–driven issues, or thematic collections focused on social history and public awareness.
