cut and paste from authority on the topic:

1921-1941 EARLY MADE IN JAPAN ERA (\"GOLDEN AGE\")

The U.S. Customs Bureau ruled that \"Nippon\" was no longer an acceptable synonym. As of August 1, 1921 all goods were supposed to be backstamped \"Japan\" Technically, the Made in Japan Era began when NIppon era ended in 1921, but it really was not that precise. At some point the U>S> Customs Bureau may have required that the words,\" MADE IN\" be added to the backstamps, but this was not always done. Unmarked pieces sometimes slipped through Customs ,but most of the ceramics from 1921 to 1941 are marked either \"JAPAN\" or \"MADE IN JAPAN\" . Sometimes all pieces in a set are not backstamped. The profit margin on ceramics was slim, and a factory could save a little labor cost by not marking every piece in a set. If pieces in a set have different backstamps, it is because there often was not room for MADE IN JAPAN\" or a company logo, so they just used \"Japan\" on some of the smaller pieces. Early Made in Japan pieces, especially Art Deco and lustres, have come into their own and are very collectible.
