Looking back at Japan in the seventies 1970s

This is how American children were shown how Japan looked like forty years ago.

Everyday life in bygone days in Tokyo, 1966 昭和東京




A German camera crew filmed this record of family life in Tokyo 45 years ago. The children go off to school and father works in the factory. It was the start of the industrial boom in the so-called Showa time. Labour was still cheap. TV sets were hand soldered. Many parts were still manufactured in small home industries. Finally the family gathers again in their tiny homes. Futons behind the wall doors. A time Japanese are still nostalgic about.
