Status of stamps[edit]

Does anyone know what the status of stamps from this country is? The guideline says "stamps more than 70 years old or published before 1 January 1968 are in the public domain, per PD-Japan", but that just contracts itself because it 1968 isn't 70 years ago. In absence of that I assume the charts in the Terms section would be the next thing to rely on. Or the term publish + 70 years if the stamps were published anonymously or life + 70 years if not. The article isn't really clear about what term to apply in general though. Let alone in relation to stamps. Adamant1 (talk) 11:10, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
