Long rectangular stamps – These stamps marked the ninth world convention of ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging. These 80-yen stamps were issued in 2006 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the International Ikebana society. The stamps show flowers in a traditional oxcart (symbolizing the noble court). They were designed by Hoshiyama Ayaka. The top peak evokes Mt. Fuji. These are available in red and in green.
