Mazda Motor Corporation has been presented with a
limited edition sheet of postage stamps that feature Mazda vehicles. The stamps are entitled,
"History of Mazda Motor Corporation Hiroshima" and were designed and issued by the Chugoku Regional
Office, Japan Post Network Co., Ltd. (Japan Post Network Chugoku Regional Office). The postage stamps
are available at all post offices (excluding contract post offices) in the regions of west Japan where
Mazda has production facilities: Hiroshima prefecture and Hofu city in Yamaguchi prefecture.
The limited edition stamps feature images of several Mazda cars from the company's 90-year
history, ranging from the 1950 Mazda-Go three-wheeled truck to the all-new Mazda Premacy (known
overseas as the Mazda 5) that went on sale in Japan this year. The stamp sheet also shows the Mazda
Shinari, a new concept car that indicates the future direction of Mazda design.
Masami Uemura, managing director of the Japan Post Network Chugoku Regional Office, presented a
sheet of the limited edition postage stamps together with a miniature model of the 1967 Mazda Cosmo
Sport 110S – the world's first mass production rotary-engined sports car – to Yuji Harada, a director
and senior managing executive officer at Mazda Motor Corporation.
"Mazda is grateful and proud that the Japan Post Chugoku Regional Office has decided to issue
these special stamps to celebrate Mazda's history," said Yuji Harada. "The stamps are a welcome
reminder of the strong support and affection that Mazda enjoys in its local communities, especially as
most of the planning and design of the stamps was carried out by staff at post offices near Mazda
facilities. Going forward, Mazda is determined to continue building vehicles that look inviting to
drive, are fun to drive, and provide customers with pleasure. We hope to inspire more people to
commemorate our great cars."
