This listing is for a single Japan First Day Cover (FDC) commemorating the 350th Anniversary of the Founding of Nagoya. The cover features the 10-yen commemorative stamp and a complementary cachet.
350th Anniversary of Nagoya: Issued on October 1, 1959, this cover commemorates the 350th anniversary of the founding of Nagoya.
Philatelic Background: The stamp and cachet prominently feature the "Kinshachi" or Golden Dolphin, described as a mythical dolphin with a tiger's head. These golden roof ornaments are a famous symbol of Nagoya Castle. The red pictorial cancellation from Nagoya further ties the theme together by explicitly illustrating the historic castle. The reverse of the envelope carries a Kitte Bunka publisher mark and the catalog number 678.
