Manchukuo · 1934 · 4 fen

The stamp features a central depiction of the White Pagoda of Liaoyang, a prominent multi-tiered Buddhist stupa. The design is stark, with the pagoda rendered in dark tones against a lighter background, framed by the country name and denomination.

Issued by Manchukuo, a Japanese puppet state established in Northeast China, this stamp reflects the regime's efforts to establish its own postal identity. The White Pagoda of Liaoyang represents a significant cultural landmark within the territory claimed by Manchukuo during a period of intense geopolitical tension in East Asia.
