The program traces major events that shaped the region while introducing elements of Showa-era culture and daily life, and also features a quiz segment centered on everyday Showa tools whose uses are difficult to guess from appearance alone.
Guests include Hashimoto Goro, a special editorial board member at Yomiuri Shimbun, and Iwata Yukihisa, president of Iwata Photo Studio. They share recollections of the Showa years and discuss the era’s defining characteristics, while the program also highlights the latest technologies that use generative AI to animate black-and-white photographs so they appear as moving images.
