“Made in Japan” was a joke because of Western chauvinism.
They were also selling a lot of cheap pot metal stuff because that's what we would import from them. It would take more than 15 years for the many Pacific War vetarans and their families to want to throw money their way.
Even in the '60s, Japanese lenses for cameras were known to be the best value, and at least on par with the European stuff.

There were some who went the entire rest of their lives avoiding Jap products.
