Japan, one of the countries that saw tremendous economic growth in the second half of the twentieth century. What was the country and its people like in the early days of this period?
This was one of the most critical periods in Japan's development: the country had just emerged from the shadow of defeat in World War II and had its primary goal of developing its economy. So, what was Japan like at that time, and what were the pedestrians on the street wearing? How have Japanese cities changed since then, and how have people lived?
