I’m OP’s age and don’t remember having any toys from Japan. Dad fought in the Pacific Theater, didn’t have a positive outlook on Japanese people or products. Funny thing though, we would hunt flea markets, antique shops and garage sales for “Made In Occupied Japan” stamps. Wonder if that’s still collectible?
Growing up in the 70s and 80s: “Oh, that’s where all the toys come from!”
70s and 80s were before my time so that could be why i am mistaken, but i kind of thought it would have been Japan?
Japan too, but mostly it was the stamps “Made in China” or “Made in Taiwan”.
