Per
Scott 2011 Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue
(Vol. 3, pg. 300). This is a bit of an honorable mention because the stamp itself does not have
bonsai. The frame around the stamp which makes up this souvenir sheet has the bonsai:
the central Pekinese dog of the stamp is seen flanked by a pair of light-blue glazed-shallow-dish compositions just
slightly taller than the dog. The left-hand bonsai is a four-tree forest among greyish stones; the right-hand
one is a possibly wind-swept with exposed roots and root-over-rock. Both reflect the wilderness vistas seen
behind the dog and trees behind the two tall red pillars which form somewhat a backdrop for the trees.
(A link for this stamp was sent to RJB from Matteo Grassi, 5 Jan 2011.)
