Japan of the middle of the last century
After World War II, Japan was occupied by the US armed forces, which brought a lot of radical innovations to the environment and daily life. Someone supported them, but some did not.
Japan was completely disarmed, and the empire itself was destroyed. Today we look at the historical pictures of the 50s.
