Sheet of 20 Cherry Blossom Forever Stamps, no longer available for sale from USPS Se-Tenant style stamps with one scene across two stamps Pictures cherry trees in full bloom Forever Stamps are always equal in value to the first-class mail one-ounce rate Perfect for invitations, weddings, and general mail. The U.S. Postal Service celebrates the centennial of when more than 3,000 cherry blossom trees were given by the city of Tokyo to Washington, DC, by dedicating the Cherry Blossom Centennial Forever stamps at the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The se-tenant stamps, one scene across two stamps, picture cherry trees in full-bloom around the Tidal Basin. In the stamp on the left, trees arch over two girls dressed in bright kimonos and a family on a stroll with the Washington Monument in the background. On the second stamp, the Jefferson Memorial forms the backdrop for tourists taking in the sights under a canopy of pink blooms. Working with art director Phil Jordan of Falls Church, VA, artist Paul Rogers of Pasadena, CA, created the near-mirror stamp art images. Visit this link to get the back story on the stamps and preliminary sketches of the artwork. A brief history of how the cherry trees came to Washington appears on the back of the stamp pane along with a modern translation by Emiko Miyashita and Michael Dylan Welch of a traditional, circa ninth-century poem written by Ki no Tomonori (c.850-c.904). This is for a sheet of 20 Forever Stamps.
