Yokohama, Japan

The bridge depicted in the postmark is the Yokohama Bay Bridge. The stamps are from Japan Post's 20th century series issued in 2000. This pair of stamps was from a sheet of ten that was sheet number 17 in the series. The stamp on the left commemorates the Japan National Team at the FIFA Worldcup in 1998 and the stamp on the right commemorates Japanese astronaut Mohri Mamoru participating in STS-47 aboard NASA space shuttle Endeavour in 1992.
