Forbins Revenue Catalog 1915:

They all look like revenue stamps. Left to right...

1) #36 1900 Effets de Commerce 3 sen carmine
2) May be #41, although there's no picture, same set as #1) they're
the same size.
3) 1884 Timbre de Justice (Justice service) Since I dont' read
Japanese, it could be 1y Yellow or 10 y Orange - can't tell color
by scan.

Left to right...

4) #38 1900 Effets de Commerce 10 sen rose
5) #25 1884 Effets de Commerce 5 sen green
6) #22 1884 Effets de Commerce 5 rin brown

Effects de Commerce = General revenue ... these were also used as
Quittances.
