The listing, Gifts of Friendship (Japan Joint Issue) $0.49 Forever Stamps has ended.

In 2015, the U.S. Postal Service® & Japan Post jointly issue Gifts of Friendship, a sheet of stamps featuring beautiful images of flowering dogwood and flowering cherry trees. This issuance celebrates the enduring bond between two nations on the centennial of the gift of dogwood trees from the United States to Japan in 1915.
The left side of the stamp sheet features four new stamp designs: two created by the Postal Service and two created by Japan Post. It also includes two Japanese characters meaning “friendship,” the title of the issuance “Gifts of Friendship,” and a short line of selvage text. On the right side of the sheet are eight additional stamps (four each of the two U.S. designs). The two U.S. designs highlight the beauty of flowering cherry and flowering dogwood trees in Washington, D.C. The first stamp depicts the Lincoln Memorial with vibrant cherry trees in the foreground, while the second stamp depicts the U.S. Capitol Building surrounded by white and pink dogwood trees. The Japanese-designed stamps feature two prominent buildings in Tokyo, Japan’s capital city: the National Diet Building framed by cherry blossoms, and the clock tower outside the Diet Building rising behind a foreground of white dogwood flowers. This 12-stamp sheet includes two stamp images from Japan Post and 10 stamps (five each of two designs) from the U.S. Postal Service®, all denominated as Forever® stamps. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.Made in the USA, Issue Date: April 10, 2015.
