On this cover from Osaka are the 2025 Philately Week stamp issues from Japan Post. Each is postmarked with matching first-day postmarks. On the left is "jo-no-mai" painted in 1936 by Shoen Uemura. The painting depicts a young woman performing the slow and graceful jo no mai dance during a Noh play. And on the right is "Maiko in a Garden" painted in 1924 by Bakusen Tsuchida, depicting a Maiko dancer seated in a Japanese garden.
