Finnish commemorative stamp 5 pcs - Bringers of Happiness

The illustrations for the spring greeting stamps are by Klaus Haapaniemi, one of the leading names in Finnish design. The stamps feature mystical animals that bring good luck, resembling birds and fish.

Haapaniemi's style is influenced by Finnish tradition and the Kalevala. His work reflects a rich Slavic culture alongside a more subdued Japanese expression.

“In a way, I have reinvented classic patterns and a style like, for example, the Russian avant-garde, which is based on a very geometric design language,” Haapaniemi says.

Bringers of Good Luck stamps are sold in sheets of 5. Date of issue: 7.5.2025.
