What fascinates us about Japanese culture?
After Ancient Japan, released a few weeks ago, it's time to continue the journey to discover the history of this wonderful land!
Japan's recent history is studded with events and transformations that have involved so much of the West: from the American occupation and the world wars (with key events such as Pearl Harbor and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki) to the post-war economic miracle.
Think about it, even if we have never been interested in Japan and everything about it, it is very likely that somehow something Japanese is present in our lives.
In all households, first of all, there is some electronic device, an electrical appliance, a car or a motorcycle of Japanese manufacture. Do you have a camera? Almost impossible that it is not Japanese.
Also, almost all of us have grown up with at least one Japanese anime, manga or video game!
But what has allowed Japanese companies to become so dominant in certain industries?
How has Japanese society changed in the last century?
You can learn more by reading my latest book: " Modern History of Japan: Japanese History From the Meiji Period to the Present ", where in addition to the history of Japan we also cover other topics such as the economic, cultural and social development of Japan. We will also talk about contemporary culture!
