Here we have a 1951, green tinted view of Lake Towada as part of Japan's National Parks series. It is a crater lake and the largest on Honshu Island. The lake and the surrounding forest became a National Park in 1936 and this stamp commemorates its 15th anniversary. An Imperial Japanese Army Air Force plane which crashed in 1943 was found at the bottom of the crater in 2010 and recovered in 2012.

It seems almost impossible to find the remains of a plane in this landscape. Sadness in the middle of beauty.
Here you will find my water stamps.
The one colour national park series seemed to span quite a period of time, lakes in craters are fascinating.
My watery waves are here
How nice - now that I see today's theme - that you posted a green water stamp!
This monochrome stamp is a beaty, too!
*beauty, of course!
