Meiji restoration =Beginning of Modern Japan =Official end of Seclusion policy in Edo Period (1603 to 1868)
Tokugawa Shogunate government was overthrown by New Meiji Government, backed by British empire.
The background of this big shift was to respond to colonialism and other threats by powerful western countries.
Japan was in need to modernize the country to quickly catch up with Western nations.
Actually, even in a seclusion period, Shoguns obtained information about latest news of other countries via traders from Holland,
in Dejima Island (literary means : Exit island), in Nagasaki prefecture.
Holland was a unique country that was permitted to trade with Tokugawa government.
Japan learned western cultures though Holland in Edo period.
