The Meiji era (明治 時代, Meiji Jidai) is the historical period of Japan between 1868 and 1912.
Initiated by the Meiji Restoration, it is between the Keiō era (late Edo period) and Taishō era.
This period symbolizes the end of the policy of voluntary isolation called sakoku and the beginning of a policy of modernizing Japan.
The Meiji era was characterized by a shift from the feudal system to a Western-style industrial system.
This social, political and cultural upheaval led to various advances in the fields of industry, economy, agriculture, art and trade.
In 2018, the Guimet Museum in Paris brilliantly celebrated the 150th anniversary of the era that opened up Japanese art to the rest of the world.
