Shōwa nostalgia (Japanese: 昭和ノスタルジア) includes nostalgia for certain aspects of the postwar Shōwa era.[1][2][3][4] Shōwa retro (Japanese: 昭和レトロ) is retro related to the Shōwa era. The Shōwa Retro Boom (Japanese: 昭和レトロブーム) includes increased popularity and sales of Showa retro goods and services.[5] (The expression also loosely includes increased popularity of some things from the early part of the Heisei era).[6] The beginnings of periods of increased nostalgia have been dated to 1974,[6] 1986,[7] 2005,[6] 2012[8] and 2017.[6]
Manifestations of Shōwa nostalgia include television programmes about the Shōwa era, such as Takeda Tetsuya no Shōwa wa kagayaiteita,[9] broadcast from 2013 onwards.
