Being on a flat move (just on the same street!) I've run into a cumulation of 42 covers from the Japan Philatelic Service, given me by a friend (I'm afraid, gone long ago!). They're from the 1978/88 years, bearing stamps of these years wonderfuly postmarked.
They make a curious hoard (I won't dare to call it "a collection"). So, I decided that, if our friends here are interested, I can show all of them, time allowing...
Let's start:

Nice covers Philatelic or not? The answer could seems easy, standing the particular franking and most probably they contain advertissement or stamps/philatelic material sent to a customer. Anyway, even a stamp suplier or a philatelic office of a postal administration have needs to send mail, and how would they frank them? Maybe, exactly like we can see now... I can see a postal intent in this letters, more then just to create a philatelic object. I think we can't speak either of philatelic letters nor of a non philatelic letters. Using a self-created term they're Semiphilatelic.
But my empty discussion doesn't detract from the fact that they are all fine letters.

Inside, there was an account statement and a list of the enclosed issues. Some of the issues sent (mint) inside, were also used to pay for the postage.

I was a subscriber of japanese stamps for about twenty years. Unsuccessfully I asked the philatelic agency to send the shipments with no stamps on the envelopes, but instead to put c.t.o. stamps into the shipment,like other postal agencies,like India f.i.,did. By that way one could have received commemorative issues,instead of useless definitives. But to no avail ! So,in the end this was one good reason more to cancel my standing order.

salentin, I had not thought much about this side of collecting Japanese stamps but it is interesting to learn of it. I didnt know you could set up an arrangement to have regular sendings of new stamps. With the huge more recent issues of Japanese stamps you would have a lot of mail. I do enjoy getting mail so maybe that would have made up for any annoyances. but i can understand your decision. thanks for sharing your envelopes cursus. Much appreciated.
