This miniature sheet, issued in 1948, features two stamps: one depicting a pagoda (likely Horyuji Temple) and another a phoenix or crane. It commemorates the Mishima Philatelic Exhibition and is an overprint on a sheet originally issued for the Nagoya Stamp Exhibition.

Issued shortly after World War II, this stamp reflects Japan's post-war recovery and the re-establishment of cultural activities. It highlights the local philatelic community's efforts to organize exhibitions during a period of rebuilding.
