The Meiji period (1868-1912) marked a significant transformation in Japan, characterized by rapid modernization, industrialization, and the adoption of Western technologies and political systems. In contrast, the Edo period (1603-1868) was marked by isolationist policies under the Tokugawa shogunate, a stable feudal society, and limited foreign influence. While the Edo period emphasized internal stability and cultural development, the Meiji period focused on modernization and global engagement, leading Japan to emerge as a major world power.
Emperor Meiji brought imperial rule back to Japan, in a period known as the Meiji Ishin.
