The KNA was formed in Haktanggol of Pyongyang on Mar. 23, Juche 6 (1917) by Kim Hyong Jik, prominent leader of the anti-Japanese national liberation movement in Korea.

As an underground organization, its object was to achieve the independence of Korea by united effort of the entire nation and build a genuine civilized country.

It was one of the biggest anti-Japanese revolutionary organizations formed by Korean patriots at home and abroad before and after the March First Popular Uprising (1919).

Printed on the stamp are Korean letters "Commemoration of the KNA 95th Birthday", "March 23, 1917", Chinese characters "Jiwon" (aim high) and a picture of the monument to Kim Hyong Jik's feats at the Haktanggol Revolutionary Site.

Meanwhile, the State Stamp Bureau issued stamps on Korean cultural heritages, which show ceramics dating back to the Koryo Kingdom (918-1392) and the Ri Dynasty (1392-1910).
