Japan postage stamps all use the same font for the word NIPPON (日本郵便). I could not find a font that matches the second symbol on stamps.

Yes the symbols that define JAPAN, especially the second "本" does not match the common Japanese fonts– cburuagaMar 15 at 19:40

The samples I could find in Duck Duck Go were not identical, but most of them had the "ni hon" glyphs in a style which resembles or imitates ancient carving writing style, where you could not use a brush to write. There's probably a name for it but I'm not familiar with the terminology. Duck Duck Going for "woodblock" or "carving" brings up samples which imitate conventional brush strokes, often quite stunningly so.– tripleeeMar 15 at 19:41

1WW2 happened before the internet. Be aware this may not be a font in the modern definition of something you can google and download.– LucianMar 17 at 13:24
