Description
This mint never hinged pair from Japan, Scott #1365–1366, presents two contrasting works drawn from modern Japanese painting, each reproduced with careful attention to color, texture, and composition. Issued with denominations of 50 yen each, the stamps highlight the breadth of artistic expression in 20th-century Japanese art.
One stamp features a softly rendered female figure in a contemplative pose, executed with delicate linework and muted tones that evoke traditional aesthetics blended with modern sensibility. The composition emphasizes grace, introspection, and harmony with nature, echoing classical influences while remaining distinctly contemporary.
The companion stamp depicts a rural labor scene, showing figures working in a countryside setting with earthy colors and expressive brushwork. The subject reflects themes of daily life, labor, and landscape, offering a grounded counterpoint to the more lyrical figure study of the first stamp.
Together, the pair illustrates Japan’s commitment to showcasing fine art on postage, presenting both poetic and realist traditions within a single issue. This set appeals to collectors of Japanese art, painting on stamps, cultural history, and modern fine art themes.
The pair is offered MNH, with full original gum, strong color, and clean, well-defined perforations throughout.
