Everyday Life in Bygone Days in Tokyo
Everyday Life in Bygone Days in Tokyo is one of the most talked-about Documentary movies released in 1966, attracting audiences with its cinematic storytelling and memorable performances.
A German camera crew filmed this record of family life in Tokyo. The children go off to school and father works in the factory. It was the start of the industrial boom in the so-called Showa time. Labour was still cheap. TV sets were hand soldered. Many parts were still manufactured in small home industries. Finally the family gathers again in their tiny homes. Futons behind the wall doors. A time Japanese are still nostalgic about.
