Today I joined the meeting of the Japan Philatelic Society of UK.

Today I joined the meeting of the Japan Philatelic Group of UK. and decided to be a member.

I found this group interesting when I saw their stamp exhibition held a few months ago. One of my philatelic friends also introduce me to their members.

As I exhibited collection of Switzerland and German States in Japan, some of the members don't think I'm interested in UK stamps, however I used to collect stamps of UK and USA when I'm in Jr. high school and I like it. Today's meeting has no special agenda as usual, however I feel confortable because chat about Printing company such as De La Rue or another chat of Pre Stamp Cover interested me much.

In the event I was presented a literature of the Postal History Soceity of Japan and it was interesting. I like especially the article of "Seven Books on Local British Postal History" by Mr. Hoshina Sadao. This article help me making better my thematic collection of "development of stamp" .
