query: Tadahito Mochinaga, "Fuku-chan"

[David Blair]

hi,
could someone in the know please tell me if a copy of "Fuku-chan's
Submarine" [1944], the first animated feature by Tadahito Mochinaga,
survived the war? Better yet, if it is for sale in Japan?

If someone has a Japanese-language bio of Mochinaga at hand, could you tell
me... did he have a nervous breakdown after this feature? Police trouble?
If I get can so far as to ask, does anyone have any idea what his political
beliefs were before 1946 [left-hidden or left-vague, I assume]?

thanks, if anyone can help!

best,
David
