The Letter Writing Day can be a bit confusing...as I found on numerous sites that this 'holiday' falls on 7th of December, then again on the official World Letter Writing Day page the date is 1st of September, and Japan issues LWD stamps each year (for over two decades now) on 23rd of July. In any case, its a nice way of reminding people of the (still) existence of letters. I am hoping to pick it up again as well, just a few pen-pals to keep it going. As usual the Japan Post issue (from 2003) is very cute, plus a Hello Kitty postmark.
This is my latest post for the Sunday Stamps - via the link you can see more entries i.e. stamps for the letter 'L'. In case you want to see my 'L' postcard you can click my blog here.
Cute stamp. I'd like there was a Writing Day in my country!
ReplyDeletewell, more occasions to celebrate, with some liquor :D
ReplyDeleteadorable stamps btw! <3
I never know when 'Letter Writing Day' is until it's over.
ReplyDeleteA great find for the letter L. And lots of opportunities to celebrate letter writing throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteWe only seem to get business letters these days and junk of course. Japan does this theme well.
ReplyDeleteJapan has produced some gorgeous stamps for LWD, love this card and its letter carrying parrot.
