(1876-1892)
Open Feb.20,2002
Open Aug.30,2003
Introduction
| Recently research for plates and shades of Koban stamps has made much progress. And good references are published for Koban collectors.(See following Bibliography.) This time on my web-page I show my unused Koban collection which I have been collecting for about 20 years. But the difficulty of classification of papers and shades makes me perplexed, so I can't have strong confidence still. I use names of colors from JSCA, to my regret I can not distinguish color well because of color weakness . So probably you will o find many mistakes in my collection on this web-page. But I hope many collectors join and enjoy collecting beautiful Japanese Koban Stamps. |
