And I met Mitsu Maejima, who is familiar with a one-yen stamp. It is said that he is the father of modern Japanese mail.

According to the history of postal services here, on March 1, 1871, a new postal service was started at Tokaidosuji no Yado Station (62 postal offices) connecting Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka and between them. It is said that it was done. According to records, the first flight departed Osaka at 2:00 p.m. on March 1, taking 75 hours 35 minutes, that is, 3 days and 3 hours 35 minutes, and arrived here at 5:35 pm on March 4 .

What? March 1st? When I checked it carefully, March 1 is the lunar calendar, and if this is converted to the new calendar, it will be April 20, and in 1934, this day was an anniversary. However, at the beginning of the enactment, the Ministry of Communications was in charge of postal mail, so it was said to be Communication Day. If you know so, this "〒" mail mark appears in the word "te" of the Ministry of Communications.

Post Office Tree

And again to the birthplace of mail.

Here was the post office tree "Tarayou". There was such an explanation.

　Tarayou is a symbol tree of the post office. If you write a letter with a pointed one on the back of the leaves, the traces will remain black, so it was named after the leaves of the Taluo tree used to write letters and documents in ancient India. In one theory, it is also called "postcard tree".

Is that right?　It was a great study.　Let's put out a postcard before the postage goes up.
