Chrysanthemum (2)

I just started studying the lot of Japan Chrysanthemum series yesterday and now I got some used pairs, so I'd like to show you some of them.

The half sen grey with the comb cancellation in the Awaji isle. Unfortunately, the cancellation does not show the year but still nice looking.

Japan Definitives Chrysanthemum Series 1899-1907

I took part in the philatelic meeting held in Osaka this weekend and inspired bysome philatelists collecting Japanese stamps.
So when I came back to Tokyo, I was finally decided to try to classify and place big lot of my Japanese stamps I bought for this 5 years. As a matter of fact I thought this idea for a several times before but I've never done it before. Anyway I started collecting Japanese stamps yesterday.
First I'm placing all the single used definitives to the stock leaves. The stampedia catalogue policy is "give main number only to the stamp which can destinguish from the other stamp easily", so I placed stamps by this policy.
I think checking Japan Definitives Chrysanthemum Series is most easy in this way. This series is very difficult if you classify them by perforations, but I egnore it first.


As a result, I have more than hundreds for some stamps.  There are many kinds of postmarks on this series and some of them are used in Korea(3sen) and Taiwan(20sen,50sen). 6sen and 8sen seem to be fewer than the other stamps, so I'd like to show the best ones  of those two stamps here.


After the arrangement of the chrysanthemum series, I'll go to the other series, and furthermore multiples and covers also.
