The anniversary stamp set released this time features Doraemon and letters as its theme, using scenes from the original manga for its design. Each set includes 10 stamps with designs such as Doraemon writing a letter, a dog holding an envelope with a paw print stamp, a boy writing a letter earnestly, and Shizuka moved to tears after reading a letter... along with other vivid illustrations. The stamp set will also be stored in a B5 transparent file folder printed with Doraemon’s image.
