Dragon design postage stamp
The dragon design postage stamp (best of Riyu) is a published postage stamp first in Japan. It was published (1871) on March 1 in the old calendar in 1871, but appoints one week including this day now with a stamp collecting week because it is April 20 by the current solar calendar on that day. ことにちなんでいる where the dragon that a design was opposite to the thunder crest in an outline pattern of Shippo as for the name called "a dragon design postage stamp" is drawn [1].

Start of postal services
Hisoka Maejima who was the founder of Japanese modern postal services worked as 駅逓頭 in the Meiji Restoration government and prepared for the establishment of a business of the postal business. Therefore it was necessary to publish a stamp to show the postage payment in advance that was one of the modern systems. It was 48 sentences, 100 sentences, 200 sentences, four kinds of stamps of 500 sentences in total to have been published at the time of the opening of business [1].
As for the print first edition of the stamp, Matsuda Midoriyama (敦朝) that was a copperplate engraving engineer cost a sculpture [1], and 玄々堂 which was his studio undertook the production of the stamp with human power. Printing was started to after November 28, 1870 [1] in the old calendar, and 860,000 pieces [1] were made by the opening of business.
Because there was not the modern print technology which performs double editions of the first edition in Japan at the time, carve a practical use version for 40 pieces of 1 seat by hand; particularly came from it, but it was the stamp which there were the spot of the face of a face value false print arm omission and the dragon, the error of external marginal 太細唐草文様 by manual labor as for this dragon design postage stamp, and was rich in variety. And I performed etching by the manual labor exactly [1]. Such manufacturing method was continued until a stamp of Toppan Printing came up in 1876. The stamp collector performs "a hand-carving stamp" and a name [1] of a stamp made by this manufacturing method. Therefore which position of the seat knows it because there is a slight difference in each 40 pieces because of manual labor, and there is the carving lapse of memory of the nail of the dragon even if I take it to pieces whether it is the stamp which there was. I become a target of the plating to collect individual stamps by this, and to rebuild an original board.
In addition, the dragon design postage stamp was a hand-carving stamp and was 2 only color printing, and a motif and the face value indication of neighboring dragons were printed separately. Therefore it was known that there was an error of 逆刷 to 500 sentences stamp, and use finished was discovered in the United States of America in 1973 and was auctioned off. As for this error stamp, best 35 million yen [1] is acquired by the catalogue valuation of the Japanese stamp [2].
Dragon sentence stamp
Print was thin Japanese paper, and the dragon sentence stamp which was a first Japanese stamp had neither the perforating of the stamp nor the sizing agent on the back [1]. In addition, size is a 19.5mm square square, and this size is the smallest in a stamp published in Japan. The name of a country notation was not accomplished, too.
Because currency reform was not carried out as for this face value, I remained a currency unit of the Edo era. In addition, it is the fraction face value called 48 sentences, but, as for this, there is custom to assume calculation less than 100 sentences 96 calculation for Edo period, and it is said that it was a meaning of the half price of 100 sentences [1]. In addition, the face value of the stamp complied with a fee structure according to according to the distance and the weight and was 48 sentences, for example, to hold out a letter to 1 monme in Yokohama from Tokyo on the day of the establishment of a business, and, in the case of 5 monme, 500 sentences of 10 times were necessary [1].

Dragon money stamp
Because new currency "圓" (Japanese yen) was introduced (1871) in the old calendar in 1871 by a newly-issued currency regulations establishment of May 10, the dragon money stamp which I changed to a unit of "the money" (1872) in February in 1872 of the next year was published. By the way, the stamp is a first Japanese perforating constant attendance handle. In addition, the sizing agent on the back was soaked later, too. However, the preparations for printing plate were not enough and I misappropriated it and used the first edition (the second edition) of the dragon sentence stamp and performed production [1] of the thing which replaced only face value. As for the face value, 1 sen, 48 sentences were revised with 0.5% in 100 sentences.
Because "post stamp" (it is about the same, and the paper money dormitory which is a government office halfway of this stamp will perform stamp production with a dragon design postage stamp as for the print method) of the succession was published as for this dragon money stamp in July, a production period is extremely short [1]. Therefore each dragon design postage stamp does not have many residual numbers, and the valuation by the catalogue is large, too.
