Vietnam issued in 1994 a set of stamps from Japanese painters, two stamps the 1000 and 3000d shows us paintings from the famous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai
The 1000 d shows us a Japanese sampan viewtopic.php?p=18715&hilit=hokusai#p18715
The 3000d shows us two Japanese junks. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12217
The stamp is designed after the painting. At Sea off Kazusa (Kazusa no kairo), from the series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)ca. 1830–32.
The deep blue hue of the water in the foreground of the print finds a visual counterpoint in the inky blue band that reaches across the horizon and sky. This repetition of color serves to flatten out the scene, bridging the distance between near and far. The mast and sails of the large junk create an interesting play of triangular forms that reflect and frame the form of Fuji in the distance.
