Just about anything photographic coming from Japan in the '60s and '70s
seemed
to carry these labels, signifying that either the item, or at least the
design, had the
approval of the Japanese Camera Inspection Institute. I always remove these
stickers on sight after finding that the body of my old Pen F meter had been
badly corroded underneath one.
