I am researching 17th Century Japanese narrative-picture handscrolls (and other 
materials) looking at the coastal whaling traditions around southern / eastern 
Japan, particularly Nagasaki/Kyushu.  The North Pacific right whale, Eubalaena 
japonica, was a prime target.  Would welcome information regarding postage 
stamps / cachets depicting a North Pacific right whale so that I might consider 
for inclusion in publication.  Philatelic examples of the other right whales 
are abundant.

Thank you very much.
Best Wishes
