In the lead-up to the 1964 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, postal administrations worldwide released commemorative topical series celebrating international sports and athletic discipline. The Yemen Arab Republic issued an extensive multi-value sports set printed by the Austrian State Printing Works (Imprimerie Nationale d'Autriche, Vienne), highlighting both recognized Olympic events and popular competitive sports under the iconic Olympic rings emblem.

Issued by the Yemen Arab Republic (YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC / الجمهورية العربية اليمنية), this postage stamp (POSTAGE / بريد) valued at 1/4 Bogsha (1/4 B. / ¼ بقشه) features Dart-Throwing. The design depicts an athlete taking aim alongside a target board with darts embedded near the center, set above the black Olympic rings logo.
