On 27 September 2019 Japan issued a souvenir sheet containing ten stamps. It is the latest in the “Japanese Night View” series. The second stamp in the top row depicts Tamamo Breakwater Lighthouse located on the end of the breakwater of Takamatsu harbor. This is a really interesting lighthouse in that the tower is clad in lighted glass panels that illuminate and eclipse along with the main light atop the tower. I have never seen a light like this one.

As of the end of 2019 the Lighthouse Stamp Society ceased to exist as a subscription based organization. However, the website will continue to function for as long as I can keep it going. I want to thank Dalene Thomas for the great job that she has done over the past 27 years. This website is dedicated to her.
I have to apologize for not posting much material lately as I recently moved to a new house and that turned out to be quite a project. Now I’m up and running again and the good news is that I have much better internet access which will make maintaining the website much easier. There is a lot of new material to post so I’d better get to it!
