Well,
I'm not very educated on this myself but I do know at least a little bit.
In the early 1940s, Japan was a rather quiet place however, if you skip a few years, there were protests in the streets and sometimes there were riots as well. Japan still had the festivals like on of which I believe is the salmon festival and the cherry blossoms were still something that the people who lived in Japan absolutely adored.
Anyways, hope that this helped.
