During the occupation of Japan between 1945 and 1952, a world
market for small and inexpensive goods was correctly identified as
a starting point for rebuilding the Japanese economy. This new book
is filled with thousands of once-familiar items of ceramic, paper,
glass, celluloid, wood, and papier-mache which were marked "Made in
Occupied Japan," and shipped to the United States and the United
Kingdom. Today, these items have increased in value and are avidly
collected. The book presents over 400 color photographs of the
items, shows 133 different manufacturers' marks, and includes a
value guide.
Objects marked "Made in Occupied Japan" were made from February
1947 until April 1952 in Japan for export to America. They are easy
to date and identify. This new book presents hundreds of items
never published before and over 200 different manufacturers'
markings on Occupied Japan collectibles. Many are
ceramics--especially detailed figurines and dinnerware sets--as
well as baskets, books, tools, lacquerware, clothing, toys, dolls,
and much more. Finer pieces, along with more unusual items, are
illustrated in 533 color photos taken specifically for this book.
Value ranges with the captions reflect the current market.
