10th Anniv. of Estab. of Government Issued on Apr. 1, 1962 (Showa37) In June 1945 (Showa 20), Okinawa was occupied by the US military and was virtually ruled until 1972 (Showa 47). Even after the conclusion of the Japan-US Peace Treaty in 1952 (Showa 27), Okinawa was under the control of the United States. The Ryukyu government, which was founded at that time, existed mainly on the main island of Okinawa from 1952 (Showa 27) to 1972 (Showa 47). Two types of stamps are issued to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Ryukyu government, and the "govern- ment building" and "stairs of the government building" are designed.
