“An expression lacked precision”, says Governor Denny Tamaki in correcting his address at the “50th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion Celebration.” (19my22)
Splendor of Okinawa: Hippeastrum, roadside in Uruma At the “50th Anniversary of Okinawa’s Reversion Celebration” on 15 May, Governor Denny Tamaki gave an address. However, on 18 May, he corrected one part of it, because “an expression lacked precision.” While the governor was explaining the era of US control of Okinawa, he stated, “The American civilian administration extended for more than 27 years after the conclusion of the San Francisco Peace Treaty.” He corrected one section of that to, “For the 27 years until Reversion to Japan, while the San Francisco Treaty and such were concluded, Okinawa was under US Military administration.” US rule in Okinawa continued for 27 years after World War II. However, from the time the Peace Treaty came into effect in April 1952 to the Reversion to Japan was 20 years.
