The U.S. Postal Service issued this unique double-sided souvenir sheet of 37¢ Lunar New Year stamps in twelve designs on January 6, 2005, in Honolulu, HI. Artist Clarence Lee, of Honolulu, created intricate paper-cut designs for each of the 12 animals associated with the Chinese lunar calendar, representing the Year of the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar. Calligrapher Lau Bun, also of Honolulu, drew the Kanji characters on the side of the souvenir sheet, which may be translated as "Happy New Year!" The same greeting appears in English at the top of the sheet. People of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Tibetan, and Mongolian heritage celebrate the Lunar New Year.
