Mount Fuji 5 Fen Stamp of Manchukuo

The stamp features a stylized depiction of Mount Fuji, a prominent Japanese landmark, with clouds in the foreground and background. The denomination '5 FEN' is at the bottom, with 'MANCHUKUO' and its Japanese characters above.
Issued by Manchukuo, a Japanese puppet state established in Northeast China, this stamp uses Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, to subtly reinforce Japanese cultural and political influence in the occupied territory.
