A limited-edition Hello Kitty MyStamp set on Saturday (Oct 29) to celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Japan, which includes six stamps, each with a face value of $1.10, over a single MyStamp sheet, according to a press release.
The celebrations are also known as SJ50.
The collection is limited to a print run of 3,000. Each set consists of two MyStamp sheets set in a hardcover folder, two postcards and a paper bag which features the special SJ50 version of Japan's iconic Hello Kitty in a pink kimono and a background motif made up each country's national flower - Singapore's Vanda Miss Joaqium and Japan's Sakura.
The set has been designed as a travelogue of Hello Kitty's travels in Japan and Singapore, in which she meets Singapore's SJ50 mascot, Doritan, a boy wearing spiky durian-like headgear and a red jumpsuit emblazoned with an image of the Merlion.
The festival is the biggest event in the year-long SJ50 celebrations and will showcase Japanese traditional culture, pop culture, tourism and produce.
