JAPANESE WEDDING STAMPS.
Poeticsi Designs to Commemorate the Recent
Imperial Marriage.

The new stamps issued in Japan In COM
menoration Of the wedding OF the Crown Prince
are now reaching this country. The prin-
cipal decoration Of these stamps needs a Jap
anesse explanation before 1t can be compre-
hended, and even then a great deal has TO be
taken on faith. since TO most people the
legend surrounding the design looks like 50
much cordwood
In the oval frame is pictured q low table
spread with paper. the place where all Japanese
marriages are soiomnized. The table is de-
corated with bamboo stalks and plum twigs
and blossoms, and al each corner rises q spray
Of pine. The pine and the bamboo being ever
greens represent that in which there is neither
variability nor shadow OF turning; the plum
on the other hand stands for that which buds,
blossoms and fruits for the good Of man, The
decorations OF the paper table cover are the
bolic Of | 900 years and the turtle Of 5000 ye,rs.
Here sit the bride and bridegroom and piss
each other cups OF saki 10 the number Of ninS.
and so they are married. for the nine drinks
together symbolic the perfect japanese
marriage
This In Japan Is the emblem OF wedlock. and
FOR that reason II has been reproduced in the
commemorative stamp issue on the wedding
Of Tbs, Crown Prince At Just such a table sat
sprays Of pine and the blooms Of the plum all
joined in wishing them both all health. wealth
and happiness without changing; and the
crane and the turtle fixed n sort Of generous
time limit Ia all the good wishes by suggesting
that i, might possibly come 10 an md five or
ten thousand years hence.
That IL the way the Japanese set forth the
meaning OF the picture ON the new stamp and
for continuation they point To the legend
which they stouily aver Is n statement Of the
name ~ the prince and this princess and the
date when they slipped the nine cups or saki.
