Japanese immigration in Brazil officially began in 1908. Currently, Brazil is home to the largest population of Japanese origin outside Japan, with about 1.5 million Nikkei (日系), term used to refer to Japanese and their descendants.[11] A Japanese-Brazilian (Japanese: 日系ブラジル人, nikkei burajiru-jin) is a Brazilian citizen with Japanese ancestry. People born in Japan and living in Brazil are also considered Japanese-Brazilians. This process began on June 18, 1908, when the ship Kasato Maru arrived in the country bringing 781 workers to farms in the interior of São Paulo. Consequently, June 18 was established as the national day of Japanese immigration.[12] In 1973, the flow stopped almost completely after the Nippon Maru immigration ship arrived; at that time, there were almost 200,000 Japanese settled in the country. In 2024 will be 116 years of Japanese immigration in Brazil, they contribute a lot for our society nowadays.

Matryoshka or Russian Doll is actually well-known symbol of Russia as well as Russian Bear, hehe. Nevertheless, this doll has a really important meaning into it: the Matryoshka symbolizes the continuation of life, fertility, wealth, motherhood. I'm sure, this doll needs to be created as a stamp. Thanks for reading! P.S. I suggest to make the Matryoshka stamp as a Region Exclusive Premium Stamp but you can also make it free for limited time (the Matryoshka Day is celebrated on the 3rd January)

The Czech letter ř is the ultimate linguistic boss fight—half rolling r, half zh sound, and entirely out to confuse foreigners. Even language prodigies (and some native speakers) tremble before it. Want a challenge? Try saying: "Tři sta třicet tři stříbrných stříkaček stříkalo přes tři sta třicet tři stříbrných střech." (Three hundred thirty-three silver fire nozzles were spraying over three hundred thirty-three silver roofs.) Good luck, if you can do it, you deserve a medal! A stamp dedicated to the letter ř, alternatively to the cress plant, which is called řeřicha in Czech. The stamp could depict silver fire nozzles too, as they're part of the well-known tongue twister.

With the decision taken on May 23, 2024, the United Nations recognized July 11 as Srebrenica Genocide Remembrance Day. Srebrenica Memorial – Overview and Historical Background: Historical Context: The Srebrenica Genocide Date: July 1995-During the Bosnian War, Bosnian Serb forces led by General Ratko Mladić captured the town of Srebrenica, which had been declared a UN "safe area". In the days that followed, more than 8,372 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys were systematically executed. Women and girls were subjected to sexual violence, and thousands were forcibly displaced. Perpetrators: The Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) and associated paramilitary units. Legal Recognition: The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) both classified the massacre as genocide, the worst in Europe since World War II. Srebrenica–Potočari Memorial and Cemetery Established: Officially opened in 2003 Location: Potočari, near Srebrenica Purpose: To honor the victims of the genocide To serve as a place of remembrance and mourning To educate future generations about the atrocities committed Cemetery: Over 6,000 victims have been buried here after identification through DNA analysis. Each year on July 11th, a mass funeral is held for newly identified victims. Visitor Center: Located in the former UN Dutchbat base. It now functions as a museum and educational center, displaying testimonies, photos, and videos documenting the genocide. Symbolism and Significance The memorial stands as a permanent reminder of the dangers of ethnic hatred, religious intolerance, and impunity. It also symbolizes the ongoing pursuit of justice, reconciliation, and peace in the Balkans. It has become a visiting site not only for survivors and families but also for human rights advocates, students, and political leaders from around the world. https://srebrenica.org.uk/lessons-from-srebrenica/srebrenica-potocari-memorial https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/srebrenica-genocide-memorial

These are just ideas that I have created, as I would love to have a stamp that represents the islands somehow. Stamp 1: Día de Canarias. Canary Islands Day, May 30th. It's a public holiday across all the Canary Islands. This day commemorates the anniversary of the first session of the Canary Islands Parliament, recognizing the self-governing status of the Canarian archipelago within Spain. In the background, a Canarian city, with a prominent Canarian hat "cachorro" and a Canarian guitar "timple".
