How did the people in Japan fare during World War II?

At that time, in order to support frontline operations, Japan concentrated all its limited domestic resources on the military. The lives of ordinary Japanese people were generally normal, and many people chose to work in factories.

They continued their daily activities as usual and were not affected by the war at all. The picture shows Japanese people entering and exiting the bank.

Japanese people go to and from get off work on time and take their children to and from school normally. The picture shows Japanese pedestrians passing by on the street.

Some Japanese female workers in uniform are discussing whether to join the army on the street to attract the attention of passers-by. The picture shows a female staff member of a Japanese power company.

Japanese theaters are open every day and play war-related films for the public. The picture shows the crowd gathered in front of the cinema.

The lower class people in Japan have also taken off their huge kimonos and put on convenient national defense uniforms, ready to go to the battlefield at any time. The picture shows a Japanese woman wearing national defense uniform.

In order to encourage the Japanese people to actively join the army, the Japanese government specially produced many propaganda slogans, with the words on them clearly visible. Pictured is a placard.

In order to better lead the Japanese army fighting in various parts of Asia, the Japanese government established the Japanese Army Supreme Command in Tokyo. The picture shows Japanese people looking at the entrance of the Supreme Command.
