Japanese Postal Stamps

by Atory » Wed Aug 15, 2007 8:10 pm

I was wondering if anyone knows what the writing on Japanese postage stamps says. I know the first 2 symbols are Nippon.

I need to know this for a Uni assignment.

I never learnt much Japanese so I had to use guess work.

Yeah... I only had the Kanji in an image form... I was after the symbols in a text form. I wasn't after English, just wanted it so I could translate it to get the Kanji in Unicode.

for some reason only hiragana shows up properly on my computer... the katakana and kanji just appear as boxes with the unicode number written inside.
