　It will be 150 years since the Meiji Restoration and the opening of the country next year. We are now in an era of aiming to become a major power alongside the Western powers based on the wealthy soldiers. Therefore, the new field of diplomacy became important, and prestigious "hospitality" became necessary. The cook studied abroad in Europe and learned and produced Western foods, and the skills he acquired were of a high level. However, only the essential tableware was imported from imported products. In the first place, there was no raw material for making hard porcelain in Japan. 400 years have passed since porcelain was burned for the first time in Japan in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture. It was used not only by Arita manufacturers but also by the Imperial Palace, the military, and hotels, but it was not as white, hard, and thin as European porcelain. It was 300 years behind Arita, a porcelain maker: Okura Art China, in the porcelain industry, newcomers will be entrusted with the "hospitality" of Japan. With the beauty of white, the beauty of shape, and the time-consuming decoration technique, it established its position like an overnight castle. Please see the history of Japanese "hospitality" through the tableware of Okura Art China, along with the state of manufacturing.

　Just stick a small piece of paper of several tens of yen and it will be delivered to all over Japan. If you increase the amount a little, you can have it delivered anywhere in the world. The small piece of paper is the "stamp", which is the system of mail. The system introduced in the Meiji era has since evolved into the Japanese style, becoming a nation with a world-class postal system such as accuracy and speed, and the 〒 seal has become a mark that is loved, respected, and prioritized. .. In addition, stamps themselves are also a hobby, and during the period of high economic growth, both adults and children collected them, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications at that time also issued commemorative stamps when there were ceremonies and anniversaries. These commemorative stamps were not used and were similar to the so-called "tansu savings". If you look at the present, not only letters but also letters have decreased, and the number of generations who do not know the collection of stamps has overflowed. The fun of letters and the collection of stamps and mail are still profound. If you look at this issue, you can nod. In the first place, were the Japanese diligent and accurate in time? It will be clarified from the history of mail, and there is still more "romance", such as postmarks on stamps and the appearance of the world at that time from mail.
