Japan extensive mint and used collection to the early 1990s housed in four hingeless albums and loose all filling a large carton, starts with a genuine set of mint or used 1972 Dragons, and is then weak to the 1930s with scattered better, from there the collection is quite complete with most of the better items present, including nearly all the souvenir sheets except a couple Parks issues and the scarce air mail sheet, plus useful Offices in China and other back-of-the-book, there are also many duplicates and loose material including revenues and a few cancel finds as well as a good sized holding of mint and used 1872-79 Cherry Blossoms that never made it into the album, somewhat mixed condition, but a great many o.g., l.h., n.h., and used fine-very fine throughout, so well worth a detailed examination.
