Japan transitioned from an autocracy to a democracy primarily after World War II, driven by external pressures and internal desires for reform. The defeat in the war led to significant American influence, as the U.S. sought to promote democratic governance and prevent the spread of communism in Asia. This resulted in the adoption of a new constitution in 1947, which established civil liberties, a parliamentary system, and the renunciation of war. The desire for modernization and political participation among the Japanese populace also fueled this shift towards democracy.
In WW 2, japan was NOT a democracy. It was a monarchy. Japan had an Emperor.
Currently, Japan is a democracy. Though signs of democratic thinking have appeared in Japan since the Meiji Reconstruction, the most significant transition to a democracy was after World War II when Japan created a new constitution. Japan has a Prime Minister which is elected.
Modern Japan is a Parliamentary Democracy. It does not have States, which are sovereign entities, but it does have Prefectures. Each of Japan's 47 prefectures has an elected governor, an elected legislature, and an administrative bureaucracy and is further divided into cities, towns and villages.

Commodore Perry arrived in Japan for trading rights from Japan. Japan only opened two ports for trading. Soon other countries start trading with Japan. The result was Japan becoming more industrialized. They became more modern. Japan began building factories and soon became a wealthy country.

Its pretty much dead in its original form but the modern form is in Koreas, China, and Japan.
No, Japan is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with the Emperor as the Head of State.
A democracy.
Emperor Hirohito's Japan prior to World War II was not a democracy nor was it a communist state; it was a fascist theocracy. After World War II, the US Occupation of Japan led to Japan becoming a democracy under Emperor Hirohito's watch.
