An explanation of the Trade Mark * Made in Nippon violins.
"Reply by Paul Hostetter on March 23, 2009 at 6:08pm
The logo is for the Suzuki company, the original one founded by Masakichi Suzuki and now known as Nagoya Suzuki, which was in business from 1914 on. Suzuki is a common name in Japan, so the motorcycles and the violins are not from the same company, but Shinichi Suzuki, the younger son of Masakichi Suzuki, developed the famous Suzuki Method education system. Some of the pre-WWII Suzuki violins are rather nice-sounding instruments."

Basically violins marked as Made in Nippon were made between the late 1800 and 1921.

When was it required to stamp made in Japan on pottery and porcelain?
Here are the why and how, also the the time, an excerpt and the site:The case of Nippon or Japanese Porcelain marks is a bit more peculiar. The word "NIPPON" is the official name of the country of Japan and Japanese makers and trading companies initially marked their porcelain with the name Nippon. However, in 1921, the US Congress requested that Japanese Customs Authorities change the name to JAPAN. Therefore, Porcelain and China antiques that are marked "NIPPON" were made prior to 1921 and items that are marked "JAPAN" were made after 1921. Furthermore, most Porcelain and Chinaware imports from Japan were rarely marked with the actual manufacturer's mark.* http://www.marks4antiques.com/Identify-Porcelain-Antiques.htm

When was the name Japan changed to occupied Japan?
Hi,...Marks on export porcelain: In 1891 the McKinley Tariff Act was instated, requiring items imported into the United States to be marked in English with the country of origin. The name "Nippon" was chosen for items coming from Japan. (Nippon is the Japanese name for Japan.) In 1921, the official country of origin name requirement was changed to "Japan", thus creating a defined time period 1891-1921 in which wares were marked Nippon. Previous to 1891, items were either not marked at all, or marked with Japanese characters. During the period 1921-1941 porcelain should be marked "Japan" and roughly after 1941, marked "Made in Japan", though numerous exceptions appears to occurs. Pieces marked with JAPAN or MADE IN JAPAN in plain text without any company marks, in general date to the period immediately after the second WW. Some come with the addition of OCCUPIED JAPAN.
