Saluting aviator on 15 sen stamp from 1942

The Japanese Empire issued its first postage stamps in April 1871. The first persons to be depicted on a stamp were Prince Kitashirakawa Yoshihisa (1847–1895) and Prince Arisugawa Taruhito (1835–1895) in 1896 in honor of their role in the First Sino-Japanese War that ended one year earlier. The first woman depicted on a Japanese postage stamp was in 1908 and 1914 Empress Jingū, a legendary Japanese empress who ruled following her husband's death in 200 AD.[1] She was in 1881 already the first woman depicted on a bank note. However no actual picture of her exists. Instead an artistical representation by Edoardo Chiossone was used for the bank note, modelled after a female employee of the Government Printing Bureau which lead to a western appearance. For the postage stamps a revised design by Yoshida Toyo was used.[2][3] A definitive series in 1942 reflected Japan's entry into World War II, with designs including war workers and saluting aviators. After World War II the first person depicted on a stamp was in 1947 Baron Maejima Hisoka (1835–1919), the founder of the Japanese postal service, as part of a definitive series.
