Description:
Establishment of the world postal system starts with the inauguration of the Universal Postal Association of 1874. In other words, in the business called postalities, the engravings of the nineteenth-century state are settled in the first place. In today’s Japan where privatization is debated, few people are conscious of this. But if you turn your eyes out, there are still many countries where the postal system functions as a national media.
This book is an attempt to reveal the national intention expressed in stamps and ethos of people by reading stamps issued by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (the author calls this “postal science”).
Item commentary developed using abundant postage stamps exceeding 600 points is filled with a revolving reality that breaks the stereotyped North Korea statue and various discoveries that “play” brings. It can be said that the anarchical result that the 50th note order inorganic order that “Korean ginseng” comes after “Korean war” and the anarchic result that “Mt. Fujiyama” and “Teresa Tengi” are mixed is also a charm of “postal science” right. There is a power similar to the Encyclopedia of the Enlightenment era, which was unavoidable by antagonizing the alphabet orders against the medieval church hierarchy.
The spirit of this book which is not concerned with the existing system is felt also as a whole image of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il printed staggered little by little on the small edge of the page (the part hitting the back of the page opposite the back). The father whose father turned to the left when he was going to the right, the whole body image of his son who turned to the right as he casually came to appear as if it were a hidden picture, but this is a mystery that implied this parentage ‘s political posture If so, what kind of answer will come back from the author? (Tetsuo Imano)
