I Dream of Stylish Foreign Stamps Often Seen in Photos... Did You Know You Can Buy Them on Rakuten?

Stylish Overseas Stamps＊

There are many cute stamps in Japan, but…

Overseas stamps just look so stylish somehow.

(Don’t you think…???)

They might be a little faded, or have rare cancellations.

When envelopes from overseas are displayed in restaurants,

you can't help but wonder, "Where did this letter come from and when…?" and feel a sense of romance♡

While they don’t serve as postage stamps in Japan,

✅ you can use them as decorations for invitations,

✅ or as points of interest for paper items,

making them stylish.

You Can Buy Overseas Stamps on Rakuten♡

Just by sticking them on, foreign stamps become stylish.

Many people might be wondering, “Where can I get them…?”

But actually, you can purchase them on 【Rakuten】.

(As expected from Rakuten.)

The prices vary, but many are sold for around 500 yen for 30 pieces.

Most are pre-owned stamps that have been used once, and since overseas stamps can’t be used in Japan, it’s perfectly fine to use pre-owned ones for decoration!＊

They come in sets by country, like "Australia" or "Spain," or by design, such as "plants," "ships," or "cats," making it fun just to look at them♩

Useful Tidbits to Remember＊

I had the impression that overseas stamps were hard to come by (like, getting them from a friend…?), so I was surprised to find they could be easily purchased on Rakuten!

They also seem useful for wedding items, so let's remember that 【overseas stamps (used) can be bought on Rakuten】 for when we want them someday♩
