Post-WWII Life In Japan
Scenes of Japanese people in the big cities of Japan in 1946. In the midst of black markets and inflationary prices, life for the average Japanese is grim and barren. Rebuilding homes and harvesting meager crops keep some healthy and housed, but many have to tighten their belts. Rice is rationed in Japan. People gardening in small plots of land amid the wreckage. CU, young Japanese child with a doll on backpack. Women shopping for fish and seaweed in black market area of a city.
