The “Year of the Boar” stamps were released on December 30, 1994, in Sacramento, California, featuring a modern design by artist Clarence Lee. Each stamp includes Kanji characters by calligrapher Lau Bun. Based on a 12-year lunar cycle, the Zodiac signs were determined by a meeting called by Buddha, attended by 12 animals. The stamp is the 3rd in the U.S. Lunar New Year series and serves as a unique gift for those born in the Year of the Boar. Years of the Boar include 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, and 2031.
