Does anyone know anything about this Japanese revenue? My brief search turned up nada. I just had a package arrive and got sidetracked after looking inside and noticed this oddity. Now my curiosity is killing me! Thanks for your help!  |

philatelia , the portrait depicted is Takeuchi (or Takenouchi) no Sukune, a legendary Japanese hero-statesman born in 84 AD and reputed to have lived for 280 years! Daniel

280 needs an awful lot of candles on the cake. 🎂
What I find even more amazing is this remarkable photo from the 4th century 😜
