Description

A second impression or variant of the SIPEX Shikoku Stamp Exhibition commemorative sheet, this print shares the same philatelic context as the related impression. Differences between the two may involve the souvenir sheet's accompanying postal markings, cancellation date, or the precise registration of the printed image within the sheet margin. The Shikoku region encompasses four prefectures—Tokushima, Kagawa, Ehime, and Kochi—each with distinctive landscapes that Hasui documented in travel prints. The miniature sheet format places Hasui's woodblock aesthetic within postal history documentation, making these prints of interest both as works of art and as philatelic artifacts from the mid-Showa period.
