Description

The U.S. Postal Service celebrated the Year of the Rabbit with the issuance of a Forever stamp on January 22, 2011, in Morrow, Georgia. Original colorful artwork by Kam Mak was combined with two elements from the previous series of Lunar New Year stamps - artist Clarence Lees intricate paper-cut rabbit design and calligrapher Lau Buns grass-style Kenji character for "rabbit." The rabbit is the 4th of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac associated with the Lunar calendar. People of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan, and Mongolian heritage celebrate the Lunar New Year. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are said to be sensitive, cautious and lucky.
