沖縄復帰10年 1982年（昭和57年） 5月 15日発行 沖縄は、1972年に日本に復帰後、道路・病院・学校など公共投資に力が入れられ、数々の優遇税制や特例や諸税の免除が実施された。積極的な公共投資により、インフラ面では、ほぼ本土並みとなったものの、産業の育成が立ち後れ、国内外の大規模な製造拠点の誘致にも至っていない。切手は沖縄の本地復帰10年を記念して発行され、シーサー（獅子）と沖縄県のマークがデザインされている。
10th Anniv. of the Return of Okinawa
Issued on September 16, 1981 (Showa 56)
After returning to Japan in 1972, Okinawa focused on public investment such as roads, hospitals, and schools, and various tax incentives, special cases, and tax exemptions were implemented. Although the infrastructure has become almost the same as that of the mainland due to aggressive public investment, the development of industry has been delayed and large-scale manufacturing bases in Japan and overseas have not been attracted.
The stamp was issued to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Okinawa's return to its homeland, and is designed with a Shisa (lion) and the mark of Okinawa Pref.
