What was it like to live in Japan in the 1930s?

Question:


What was it like from day to day? Culture? Politics? If you have a very useful web page, that'd be great, or a book on Japan in the 1930s, that would be awesome!

Thank you very much!

Answer:


Wow, 1930s.

It was the time of Great Depression all over the world. Japan was not exception and was in severe recession.

Then Japan started warfare with China in 1931. It was not intense first. But led to Pacific War in 1941 finally.

I wonder if "did not affect Japan" on above wiki page is true. I think it affected much.

There was this coup attempt on February 26, 1936.

They say that they made this attempt out of poverty across Japan.
