History
Ajman issued photogravure stamps on 27 July 1971 reproducing woodblock prints by Katsushika Hokusai for the 13th World Scout Jamboree. Six square designs, each inscribed WORLD JAMBOREE 1971 with a fleur-de-lis, show Umezawa (20 dirhams), the Sazaido (30 dirhams), Climbing the Mountain (40 dirhams), Kajikazawa (60 dirhams), Sekiya-no-Sato (75 dirhams), and In the Mountains (3 riyals airmail). The same designs exist comb perforated 13½, imperforate, and as souvenir sheets with simulated perforations in a fleur-de-lis margin. A 10 riyal airmail souvenir sheet is inscribed MINOBU RIVER BY HOKUSAI, with the landscape continuing into the sheet margin. Postal standing is unsettled.
