Ford Hallam Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 I can understand how a tsuba might be used as a design on Japanese stamps but this is something of a surprise Sorry about the small image but this is all I could find. Before 1967 the territory was known as Somali Coast. In 1977 it became Djibouti Republic. Evidently someone there fancied tsuba. Quote
Nobody Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 The mark at the upper left on the stamp reminds me of the symbol of an international exposition held in Osaka in 1970. Is there any chance that it is a commemorative stamp for the expo? Quote
