The Heisei era refers to the period of Japanese history corresponding to the reign of Emperor Akihito, from 8 January 1989 until his abdication on 30 April 2019. The formative years of many Japanese millennials took place in these decades, which saw the rapid spread of mobile phones and the internet, along with various trends in popular culture. Focusing primarily on youth culture, this book highlights aspects of Japanese life that may feel “recent”, yet have already become nostalgic. Rather than focus on major cultural pillars – music, fashion, film, video games, manga, anime, or automobiles – the catalogue features the overlooked and easily forgotten everyday relics of the era.
