The Island of Bicycle Dancers, Jiro Adachi

This has an ending about as grim as it could be, and still be happy. The survivors are tidying up their lives with regret, without permanent attachment to the lost.

Double cultural background for that practicality; working-class immigrants to New York, and New York bicycle messengers.
