On 24 September 2015, Sri Lanka issued a stamp to celebrate World Maritime Day. Just to the left of the bow of the container ship pictured on the stamp we see a red and white banded tower which is the Colombo East Breakwater Light. It is dwarfed by the much larger Colombo Pilot Station which was completed as part of the port expansion in 2013.

In 2015 there were several Japanese prefectural stamp issues celebrating the 60th anniversary of “Local Government Law”, two of which contained images of lighthouses. Each of the issues consisted of a sheet of five stamps.
The Tokushima Prefecture issue of 2 Jun 2015 shows a sea turtle on Ohama Beach, just north of the small port of Minami. At the upper right of the stamp is a tiny red dot that is Hiwasa Kō north breakwater light.
The 8 Dec 2015 issue of Chiba Prefecture shows, much more clearly, Inubō Saki Lighthouse. Inubō Saki was built in 1874 and was designed by the Scottish lighthouse engineer Richard Henry Brunton.
