About This Stamp
The design for the Year of the Rabbit stamp resembles Chinese cut-paper art and pictures a rabbit in orange, yellow, and green, against a bright red background. Artist Clarence Lee is responsible for the cut-paper design while calligrapher Lau Bun created the characters representing “Hare” (upper left) and “year” (beneath it).
