What are some good films/books on village life in Japan during World War Two? -

I m planning a story based in a Japanese village, set in modern times but amongst people whose memories of WWII are difficult to shake off. Having never visited Japan (that ll be the day) or even read enough about Japanese history, I really need to do my homework. So, what books and films, fiction or non-fiction, can help me?
