Japan: Mount Fuji

On Wednesday I received two postcards: one from Japan and one from Germany.

The card from Japan shows the Mount Fuji during the cherry blossom seen from the Yamanashi prefecture. The Mount Fuji is located on the border between the Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures. The Mount Fuji is a sacred place and source of artistic inspiration. The top of Mount Fuji is often snowcapped and Mount Fuji is an internationally recognised icon of Japan. Since 2013 is the Mount Fuji a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


With nice matching stamp:
150 Years Diplomatic Relations with Switzerland (from set of ten) (issued 06-02-2014)
It is a joint issue with Switzerland.
with First Day Special Postmark


Thank You very much Keiko!
