Any door, bamboo dragonfly, time machine, memory toast and other props are catchy even if you are not a loyal reader or viewer of Doraemon, no matter you call it Doraemon or Little Ding Dong, this blue doraemon has indeed accompanied many people in their afternoon after school time, making childhood memories full of imagination and excitement. As time goes by, Doraemon continues to be on the big and small screens. Every lingering childish heart weaves dreams. 2020 happens to be the 50th anniversary of the publication of Doraemon comics. The Japan Post Office has specially launched two sets of retro-style Doraemon commemorative stamps to continue this sentiment.
These two sets of commemorative stamps are "84 yen stamps" and "63 yen stamps", designed by Yasuko Yamada. The "84 yen stamp" is based on the appearance of Doraemon and Nobita when they first appeared in the 1970s. At that time, Doraemon was relatively large, with a body composition that favored a small head and a large body. The overall matching of smile and body movements It shows a sense of sincerity and stands with the honest and honest Nobita, giving people the impression of innocence and kindness. The designer is also very attentive to details, using yellowed stamps as the background color, and the telephone in the stamp pattern also uses an early rotary dial phone, creating a full retro atmosphere.
Then, Doraemons figure gradually became rounder, and the ratio of head to body became closer to 1:1, which is the version that everyone is more familiar with. After Doraemons original writer Fujiko F. Fujio passed away in 1996, Shintaro Mugihara, whose painting style was most similar to his and was known as "Fujiko F. Fujios last disciple", took over the creation. Therefore, the "63 yen stamp" We used the pattern created by Shintaro Mugihara with the theme of "Travel in Japan". The stamp envelope pattern is Doraemon preparing to enter any door, which just echoes the theme of "travel". When Doraemon walks to any door On the other side, you can start an unknown journey, such as wearing a yukata to celebrate the Fireworks Festival, flying over Mount Fuji with a bamboo dragonfly on your head, going to Nara to eat dorayaki while watching deer, enjoying the cool under an umbrella and looking at the five-storied pagoda, etc.
These two sets of commemorative stamps have been officially released on May 20. The "84 yen stamps" are limited to 2 million sets, and the "63 yen stamps" are limited to 1 million sets. They are available at post offices across Japan or on the post office website. Can be bought.
