Yesterday, the United States Postal Service announced that next year’s batch of collectible Forever stamps would feature a very Washingtonian scene — a rendering of the cherry blossom trees in full bloom.

The stamp, which was designed by artist Paul Rogers (check out a behind-the-scenes look at Rogers’ stamp design process here) and art director Phil Jordan “celebrates the friendship between America and Japan” and features a unique layout:

In this unusual design, two stamps form the left and right halves of a single, panoramic view of cherry trees blooming around the Tidal Basin in the nation’s capital. In the stamp on the left, blossoming trees arch over two girls dressed in bright kimonos and a family on a stroll. The Washington Monument rises in the background. In the stamp on the right, the Jefferson Memorial is the backdrop for other tourists taking in the sights under canopies of pink blooms.

As usual, you’ll be able to buy up as many as of these beauts as you want and use them to mail up to an ounce of first class mail.
