Images and description courtesy of Alejandro Bedini G., Académico Depto de Industrias UTFSM in e-mails to RJB, 04/08/04 and 04/12/04. The stamps come in a plastic sleeve that protects them. The front opens from the center like a large carved Chinese folding door looking out to a garden. The lower center flap pulls down to reveal a cardstock pop-up of a large fukien tea Bonsai on a stand. Also, images about twice as large as below can be found on pp. 15-16 of Nichin Bonsai magazine, Issue 3-2003.
