About the "Occupied Japan" back stamp: After World War II, Allied forces (particularly the United States) occupied Japan. They did this for several reasons. First and foremost, it was to oversee the dismantling of Japan's military strength and to prevent war from reigniting. In large part, the Allies controlled the government, rebuilding efforts and the reorganization of society.They also controlled a lot of manufacturing, report the writers at WorthPoint. During the seven years of occupation (1945-1952), many of the items made in Japanese factories bore a stamp that indicated they were made in occupied Japan. These stamps were especially prevalent for goods brought into or sold in the United States. This identification was a means of controlling items passing through customs and exacting appropriate taxes and fees.
