Early Showa
Anime
Tales from the early Showa period (first 20 years of the reign of emperor Hirohito, who ascended to the throne 1926).
During this time, Japan encounters the world economic crisis, impoverishment, exploitation, political strife, rise of militarism, political opression, imperial expansion, and World War II.
Maybe one of the most interesting periods of Japanese history.
Only including titles that cover at least glimpses of the prewar period.
Suggestions for additional titles are welcome.
