These
Year of the Dragon
stamps were issued on January 6, 2000 in San Francisco, CA. Artist, Clarence Lee of Honolulu, created a distinctively modern and Chinese design with a paper-cut two dimensional look. Kenji characters on the left, by the professional calligrapher, Lau Bun, translate "Year of the Dragon”; and in the upper right of the stamp, the dragon declares "Happy New Year!" in English. The dragon is the 5th 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 Dragon are said to be
flamboyant and powerful innovators.
