Editorial Review
This issuance celebrates the enduring bond between two nations on the centennial of the gift of dogwood trees from the United States to Japan in 1915. The left side of the stamp sheet features four new stamp designs: two created by the Postal ServiceTM and two created by Japan Post. It also includes two Japanese characters meaning "friendship," the title of the issuance "Gifts of Friendship," and a short line of selvage text. On the right side of the sheet are eight additional stamps (four each of the two U.S. designs). The two U.S. designs highlight the beauty of flowering cherry and flowering dogwood trees in Washington, D.C. The first stamp depicts the Lincoln Memorial with vibrant cherry trees in the foreground, while the second stamp depicts the U.S. Capitol Building surrounded by white and pink dogwood trees. The Japanese-designed stamps feature two prominent buildings in Tokyo, Japan's capital city: the National Diet Building framed by cherry blossoms, and the clock tower outside the Diet Building rising behind a foreground of white dogwood flowers. As a show of gratitude for this generous gift, former President William Howard Taft arranged for the United States to send 50 flowering dogwood trees (Cornus florida) to Japan in 1915. These gestures of goodwill fostered a rich tradition of exchanging cherry and dogwood trees that continues to this day. In both the United States and Japan, the dogwood and cherry trees exchanged over the years bring renewed life each spring after the long winter months and showcase the natural splendor of our two countries. They are celebrated on both sides of the Pacific Ocean with annual festivals that echo the spirit of friendship. With their stunning displays of color and rich history for the U.S. and Japan, these trees remain symbols of the deep bond between our nations. Gicker and Greg Breeding designed the stamp sheet. Junko Kaifuchi illustrated the stamps from Japan Post.
