Unknown postage stamp of Japan

[pauls]

Здравствуйте!
Неизвестная почтовая марка Японии пришла ко мне. Скажите, пожалуйста, что такое почтовая марка и сколько она может стоить?
С уважением, Паулс.

Hello pauls! Welcome to Stamp Bears!

You have a 5 yen Japanese tax revenue stamp (not postage stamp). It looks like it has the wavy line watermark, so it will be from the series of 1937 or later. Over the years, it was re-issued with several different paper and watermark types. I don't have a Japanese revenue stamp catalog, so I can't get more specific.

Hopefully, Philatarium or another Stamp Bear who has a Japanese revenue stamp catalog will reply...

When you have an opportunity, please make and thread to introduce yourself on the Introductions board.
