Check out the rainbow anime (or manga if you prefer to read).
Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin
It tries to give an insight into what life was like for the less privileged in a post World War Japan. It’s a fiction so I’m not sure how much of it is accurate but it’s an interesting story.
Not yet but I aim to get into it soon. My goal is to be as fluent in Japanese speech and writing as possible before we move away in 2.5 years. I need to get my butt in gear and get moving on it.

I couldn’t understand written or spoken Japanese at all when I first came here.
It made a big difference once I could understand what is said and written everywhere.
