The Meiji era (1868-1912) was a pivotal period in Japanese history, marked by the rapid modernization and opening-up of the country after more than two centuries of isolation.
The Meiji emperor (Mutsuhito) is re-established as the central figure of power, putting an end to the Tokugawa shogunate.
"Wakon Yōsai" (和魂洋才, "Japanese spirit, Western techniques") sums up the era's ambition: to modernize Japan while preserving its cultural identity.
