Japan: Country map

Yesterday I got a postcard from Japan.

The card is a map card showing Japan's largest islands, Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shukoku, divided in 47 prefectures. Japan is a insular state in East Asia. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population (126000000 people) and the Greater Tokyo Area (more than 30000000 people) is the largest metropolitan area in the world. Japan has the world's third-largest economy. Japan is a member of the OECD, of the G8 and of the UN. Japan's head of state is Emperor Akihito and the capital of Japan is Tokyo.

Japan's 50th anniversary as member of the OECD (from set of two) (issued 02-04-2014)
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development originated as Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) in 1948. The main task of the OEEC was to help to manage the Marshall Plan. The OECD was founded in 1961 as a forum of countries committed to democracy and the market economy. In 1964 Japan was the first non-European country after the USA and Canada (founding member countries) joining the OECD.
with First Day Special Postmark
The stamp and the postmark show the Château de la Muette, OECD's headquarters.

Thank You very much Keiko!
