Japan: Yakusugi on Yakushima

On Monday I got two postcards: one from Japan and one from Tanzania.

The card from Japan shows a Yakusugi on Yakushima. A Yakusugi is a Japanese cedar which is older than 1000 years. Yakushima is since 1993 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.


Stamp:
Posukuma (from set of ten) (issued 16-09-2016)
with a special postmark showing a train


Thank You very much Keiko!
