Okinawa was annihilated by the US military in June 1945 (Showa 20) at the end of the Pacific War. The US military government was established in December of the same year, and the Ryukyu Civil Administration was established in March 1946 (Showa 21). Immediately before that, on February 1, a provisional stamp was issued with the postmaster's seal of each district on the previous Japanese stamps (Dainippon Imperial ail). The Tomiyama seal was tentatively used in the Miyakojima area until June 30, 1948.
