1964 In Japan
Events in the year 1964 in Japan. It corresponds to Shōwa 39 (昭和39年) in the Japanese calendar. 1964 is considered a seminal year in modern Japanese history. The Tokyo Olympics and first run of the bullet train reflected a society-wide sense that post-war reconstruction was over and that Japan had rejoined the international family of nations. Diplomatic negotiations underway this year between South Korea and Japan resulted in a formal normalization of relations the following year. Individuals born beginning around this date were often subsequently identified as " shinjinrui" (or new people) because they had not experienced the suffering older generations had during World War II or the post-war period, and on the contrary, grew up in material plenty.

Sennin Buraku
is a manga series by Kō Kojima which ran in the adult magazine ''Weekly Asahi Geinō'', published by Tokuma Shoten in Japan. It is the longest running comic with only one artist, being published weekly since October 1956, and the longest-running strip ever in Japan. By contrast, ''Golgo 13'' is the longest running manga to be serialized in a dedicated manga magazine with ''Doraemon'' the second longest, and ''Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo'' (''Kochi-Kame'') the third longest (Asahi Geino is not a dedicated manga magazine).
