Emperor Meiji brought imperial rule back to Japan, in a period known as the Meiji Ishin.
Edo was much better than Meiji at the time, until Emperor Meiji took over.
The edo period used the feudal system, while everyone was commoners in the meiji.
The edo period had the shoguns and bakufus in control but the meiji had an emperor.
This was the Meiji period.
The Meiji Era lasted from September 1868 to July 1912.
