Japan 2 Sen Green Stamp with Mount Fuji

This is a vintage Japanese postage stamp, likely dating to the Meiji era given its style and denomination. The stamp is predominantly green with a white background for the central image and some borders. It features a prominent illustration of Mount Fuji, a highly recognizable icon of Japan, situated amidst a landscape with what appears to be a field or body of water in the foreground and some sparse trees on the lower slopes, all rendered in fine line work. The sky above Mount Fuji is depicted with horizontal hatched lines. The stamp has a perforated edge, indicating it was separated from a sheet. Along the top, Japanese characters are visible, and on the right side of the central design, there are several more Japanese characters, with the digit '3' prominently visible, likely part of a cancellation mark. The bottom of the stamp features the denomination '2 Sen' written in both Japanese characters and an Arabic numeral '2' on the left side, and the character for 'Sen' followed by another character on the right side. The overall condition shows signs of use, with a heavy, dark postmark canceling the stamp, obscuring a significant portion of Mount Fuji and extending diagonally across the stamp. The perforations appear largely intact, though there might be some slight creasing or wear visible on the edges due to its age and handling. The color appears somewhat muted, which is typical for older stamps, but the details of the design are still discernible despite the cancellation. The craftsmanship is typical of postage stamps, with printed details on paper.
