A UK exhibition shows in more than 100 images the full extent of that turbulent time Japan faced when the Second World War ended in 1945 as tradition was replaced with modernity. Metamorphosis of Japan after the War runs at the Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool until April 26. For more information, visit www.openeye.co.uk
