 Japan
Occupied Japan served as a deterrent against Soviet and Chinese communist expansion.
Japan emerged as an economically strong and political stable country at the end of the occupation in what has been described as a "master-vassal" relationship with the U.S. This relationship continued as Japan continued to house American troops through the Korean and Vietnam Wars, right up to the end of the Cold War.
So, letting Japan continue to take advantage of our open markets no longer seems to hold any strategic benefit for the U.S. The showdown at the end of June over U.S. access to Japan's auto market was just the latest in a series of attempts to end this one-sided trade relationship.

 eBay Guides - About Occupied Japan Products
Identification is simple of course the trademark is self explanatory “Made in Occupied Japan” or “Occupied Japan.” Do not be put off by Westernized motifs and design the Japanese were after all in a state of national transition marking the beginning of their conversion to Westernized ideals, style of living and retaining their rich heritage.
The term “occupied” was essential to Japanese economic resurgence, because of hostile mind-set toward the Eastern nation stayed elevated for many years following the war; some people absolutely refused to purchase anything with “Made in Japan” as its trademark.
Since Japanese exports retained such superior craftsmanship, beauty and aesthetic symmetry despite the scarcity of materials and manpower, the trademark “Occupied Japan” assured consumers, that they were in no way contributing their hard earned dollars to the ominous powers of the pre-war era.

 PEARLS AND OCCUPIED JAPAN
When the war ended and the Allied Occupation Forces came to Japan, they classified cultured pearls as “valuable and easily negotiable articles of commerce’ considering them “a potential avenue for illegal trading.” Measures were therefore taken to prevent unlawful trafficking.
Thus, during the early years of postwar Japan, all production of the Japanese cultured pearl industry was sold through the Army Exchange Service to the Occupation Forces or exported to the United States.
Between 1948 and the early 1960s, Japan’s Akoya industry was still living almost entirely off the pro­duction and export of “3.5 momme graduation necklaces?’ The most popular “grad­uations~’ delivered by the thousands, had a wholesale price of $7.00 per strand, the equivalent of ~2,520 at that time.

 Occupied Japan Collectibles
One of the terms was that Japan was to be occupied by Allied Military Forces.
Items imported into the United States during the Occupation were required to be marked “Made in Occupied Japan,” “Occupied Japan,” “Made in Japan,” or “Japan.” Many of the pieces that were marked “Made in Occupied Japan” and “Occupied Japan” are highly collectible, since Japan only used these marks for roughly six years.
Those marked “Japan” or “Made in Japan” may still have value to other types of collectors, but will probably not hold the attraction to “Occupied Japan” collectors because it would be difficult to figure out whether a piece was manufactured before or after World War II.
