Description
[Machine Translation] How 80 years ago, war-torn Japan, and especially the capital city of Tokyo, achieved a miraculous rebirth! This documentary film looks back on how Tokyo, the capital of Japan, overcame the war in the Showa era and went on the path of recovery! The Japanese people, who were not prosperous after the war, only looked forward with hope in their hearts. This energy was the driving force behind Japan's rebirth and development. The Pacific War is a symbolic event of the Showa era. The Pacific War ended in 1945. The war dealt a heavy blow to Japan. After the war, Japan faced various problems such as inflation, food shortages, and difficulties in living. However, from 1955 to 1973, about 20 years after the end of the war, Japan experienced a period of "high economic growth. During these 20 years, Japan's economic growth rate averaged nearly 10% per year due to the development of heavy and chemical industries, expansion of domestic demand, and growth in exports, and the country quickly moved from being a developing country to being a developed country. In 1968, the country's gross national product (GNP) surpassed that of West Germany to become the second largest. However, in October 1973, the Fourth Middle East War triggered a rise in oil prices, and Japan fell into an oil shock that brought an end to its period of rapid economic growth. The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the war. This work focuses on Japan, which was a burnt-out country at the end of the war (1945), and especially on the capital city of Tokyo, the center of politics, administration, and economy in Japan. The film looks back on how Japan's rebirth was achieved. The special feature film "The Return of the Ogasawara Islands" (approx. 10 min.) depicts the return of the Ogasawara Islands from the U.S. to Tokyo on June 26, 1968, after 23 years. The film records the return and discusses the future of the Ogasawara Islands. Includes views of the Ogasawara Islands, Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands, the U.S. military base, the Ogasawara reversion ceremony, the transition to Ogasawara Village in Tokyo, and more.
