Showa shivers

Pictured below is a poster for an exhibition in Tokyo detailing the lives of children during the Showa era (1926-1989) — focusing primarily on the years after the war. An event that should prove nostalgic to those brought up during the period, and a source of interest to much younger viewers, allowing them a peek into a relatively recent yet radically different world.
