. The Japanese Stamp Catalog Illustrated in Colors ( ja, 原色日本切手図鑑, genshoku-Nippon-kitte-zukan) (now ''Sakura Catalogue of Japanese Stamps'' ( ja, さくら日本切手カタログ, sakura-Nippon-kitte-katarogu)) was first published in October 1967 with full-color illustrations, which surprised the philatelic world since a colored stamp catalog had never been thought of. Regarded as the most reliable and popular publication in Japan, it goes through fifteen editions in 1979, and more than 4,500,000 copies have been released in all. This is the companion volume to the Japanese Stamp Specialized Catalog. The catalog, nicknamed Sakura Catalog, has been in pocket-size (118 x 148 mm) for several years, but now it is printed in B6 (128 × 182 mm) size so that it can be printed using a multicolor rotary press to meet the increased circulation and to make the use of thinner paper possible. As all pages have to be composed anew for the enlarged size, English version of stamp names is added for the convenience of foreign collectors, and many symbols are used to facilitate their understanding how the stamps are classified here. Please see the contents of the SAKURA Catalogue of Japanese Stamps 2019 and other editions.
