“Occupied Japan” (OJ) refers to the period from 1945, following World War II, to April 25, 1952, when Japan was under Allied occupation. During this time, Japan was required to mark 50% of its exported goods with “Occupied Japan” or “Made in Occupied Japan” as part of an effort to rebuild its economy. These markings could appear on paper labels, cloth labels (found on items like scarves, doilies, and clothing), or be engraved, handwritten, or stamped on the items themselves. For instance, you might find a salt and pepper set where only one piece is marked “OJ” while the other simply says “Japan.” Similarly, items marked “Occupied Germany” can also be found from this era, though such labels are generally considered derogatory to both nations.
