Postage Stamps Become "Art You Can Carry" — Japan Post Launches Original Stamp-Design Goods

Japan Post is turning its postage stamp designs into everyday goods, launching a new lineup of official original merchandise as made-to-order items through its online shop starting August 21 (Friday), 2026. Since Japan's first stamps were issued in 1871, stamp designs have captured a wide range of themes — culture, art, seasonal scenery, and characters — in fine detail over more than 155 years. Japan Post is treating these stamps as "small works of art" and rolling out goods that let people enjoy that appeal more closely in everyday life.

Product Overview

  • Release date: August 21 (Friday), 2026
  • Sales method: Made-to-order sales through the Post Office online shop (郵便局のネットショップ) (registration as a ゆうID member is required to order)
  • Product features: The first lineup focuses on items with an understated, everyday cuteness and a sense of quality. The original stamp artwork has been carefully re-edited to fit each product while preserving its design.
