This time, we will introduce the events and social aspects of the Showa 20 period (1945 to 1954 AD).
After the end of the war, it was placed under the rule of the American military, and there was an inflow of American culture along with the reconstruction.
There are many masterpieces, cultures, and things that can be passed down even today as life starts to change drastically. I would like to introduce a small part of it.
