This is a particularly lovely stamp issued in 1999 from Japan that I have a copy of in the Dandelion Archive. The artwork is by Inshō Dōmoto showing three rabbits and flowering dandelions (it's taken from a larger image, but split over 2 stamps). Inshō Dōmoto (1891 - 1975) was a Nihonga painter in the Shōwa era and there's a museum in Kyoto dedicated to his work. I've found another artwork of his showing a woman in a field / meadow with many different flowers and herbs - some of which are definitely dandelions.
