History

Japan has a rich and diverse history, stretching back thousands of years. Its early civilization was influenced by China and Korea, leading to the development of Buddhism, unique art, and cultural traditions. The Samurai class rose to prominence during the feudal era, and powerful shoguns ruled Japan for centuries. In the late 19th century, the Meiji Restoration modernized Japan, transforming it into a global power. After World War II, Japan rebuilt itself into an economic powerhouse while preserving its deep cultural heritage, making it a blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge technology today.
