#Stampcollecting
We all have our different ways on how we go about with stamps.
I follow a typical collecting progression for my Swiss Pro Juventute semi-postals. But regardless of method, what’s important is to continue improving
👉 cancelled -> find better postmarks (SON)
👉 mint -> improve on centering & grading
👉 postal history -> accumulate covers
👉 specialized -> hunt first/last day; variants
How fast you go is also irrelevant, as long as you do not stop. And like most of us say, stamp collecting is a hobby that accompany us throughout our lifetime.

📍 Kyoto Tourist Information Center (outside of the ticket gates) - You have to line up and ask the staff for the stamps.
📍 JTB Kansai Tourist Information Center Kyoto (inside Kyoto Tower)
Notebooks I recommend for stamp collecting:
1️⃣ Original Rainbowholic A6 Notebook (for bigger stamps)
2️⃣ Blue Travel Stamp Book
3️⃣ JTB Red Railroad Stamp Book

Looking for the best unique souvenir in Japan? 🇯🇵💮
Here’s a little hack on how to find stamps in Japan👇🏼
Stamp collecting is such a fun (and free!) way to document your trip. You’ll find stamps at train stations, tourist spots, museums, temples, airports, and even some stores.
Want an easy way to track them? Download the Stamp Quest app—it’ll guide you straight to the nearest stamp spots. 🗾✨
📌 If this helped, comment 'itinerary' and i'll send you my 3-week Japan travel itinerary for more tips!
✨ Where to get a stamp book?
Bring your own notebook, or pick one up in Japan from stores like Itoya, Loft, or Tokyu Hands.
📌Tips for Collecting Stamps in Japan
① Always carry your notebook so you don’t miss one.
② Keep an eye out for limited edition stamps tied to seasonal events or anniversaries.
③ Most station stamps are near ticket gates—if you can’t find one, ask staff: eki stamp wa doko desu ka? or stampu arimasu ka?
④ Download the Stamp Quest app to help find locations (note: it doesn’t cover every stamp in Japan).
⑤ Treat it like a travel journal—it becomes a personalised keepsake of your journey.

This is the true story of a small printing company in Tokyo & their inspiring president, Grandpa Nakamura. At 73, he decided to create a new kind of notebook after a customer mentioned that regular ones are hard to write in because the center bulges.
With his 80-year-old fellow craftsman, they spent 2 years developing a notebook that opens 180 degrees flat. At first, they struggled to sell it & had thousands in storage. Then, on New Year’s Day 2016, his grandchild shared it on Twitter. It went viral, orders poured in, & their unique binding was even patented!
Now in his 80s, Grandpa Nakamura still works in the factory, driven by passion & belief in his notebook’s value. We’re honored to partner with Nakamura Printing Co. Ltd. to launch the Collector’s Passport notebook.. a must-have for stamp collecting, journaling, & more! 📕✏️
Features:
✅ Opens flat for easy stamping
✅ Premium Kishu paper
✅ A6 size / 127.9 gsm
✅ Removable pages
✅ Smooth writing
✅ 60 sheets
EDIT: Our Kickstarter campaign has officially ended, but don’t worry, you can now buy it through our online shop!

“John was a great caring guy. He taught me stamp collecting and was quite generous in giving me a substantial amount of stamps to start my collection. It saddens me to realize that such a grest guy was taken away so early in life!” RIP John ❤️🕊️#neverforget #911 #history #wtc #america #worldtradecenter #september11 #twintowers #foryou #viralreels

Wine Thinker Robert Joseph on Conversation with Jason
This week on Conversation with Jason, we're excited to welcome Robert Joseph (@wine_thinker). Robert is a journalist, consultant, author, editor, and brand builder of projects including @legrandnoirwines in the Minervois and @kavshiri.wine in Georgia.
In this conversation, Jason and Robert discuss Robert’s start in his parents’ “accidental” restaurant, how an interest in stamp collecting led to a fascination with wine labels, and how a stint in Burgundy led him to work with @beckywasserman.co and to write for @jancisrobinson.
Robert shares the experience of how four decades in wine journalism — including a 20-year stint as an editor for the recently-shuttered Meininger’s International — have led him to call himself “a recovering wine critic” and why he thinks it’s been so hard for wine publications to establish and sustain themselves.
Robert tells the stories of Le Grand Noir and K’Avshiri and how in each case he’s trying to use his understanding of what consumers actually care about to supersede the centuries of tradition that can end up separating wine from their potential customers.
Finally he and Jason talk about the moment that wine is in now, what brands he thinks are meeting the moment in creative ways (including our partners at @lavieilleferme) and what might come next.
All this and more in this week's conversation.
