Japan (2011)

Wonderful cover with amazing stamps and cancellations. Cancellations are from the special post office at the 5th point of Mt Fuji , which is located at the elevation of 2400m high and opened only in summer. Stamps are the commemorative issue of Yokohama philately exhibition using our traditional Ukiyoe paintings of Mt Fuji.

Thank you very much for sending me this superb cover and for information on stamps and postmarks, Sumie .
