A decentralized politcal system
Because, up to the early 19th century, they used the feudal system (independant rulers with absolute power over their domain, whilst still needing to pay tribute to their overlord(king,daimyo,...)
Until the 1800s, Japan was governed by a feudal system dominated by the shogunate, specifically the Tokugawa shogunate, which was established in the early 17th century. The shogun held military and political power, while the emperor remained a figurehead with limited influence. This period, known as the Edo period, was characterized by strict social hierarchies and isolationist policies. The shogunate maintained control over the daimyos (feudal lords) and the samurai class, leading to a relatively stable but isolated society until the mid-19th century.
Japan modernized significantly in the 19th century during the Meiji Restoration, which began in 1868. This period marked the end of feudal rule and the beginning of rapid industrialization, westernization, and modernization of the military, education, and infrastructure. Japan adopted various Western technologies and practices while maintaining its cultural identity, ultimately transforming into a major world power by the early 20th century.

Industrialization in Meiji Japan led to rapid modernization and transformation of the economy, transitioning from a feudal system to a more industrialized and capitalist society. This period saw significant advancements in technology, infrastructure, and education, which helped Japan emerge as a major world power. Additionally, industrialization fueled urbanization, as people migrated to cities for work, altering social structures and contributing to a burgeoning middle class. Ultimately, these changes laid the groundwork for Japan's military and economic expansion in the early 20th century.
