As these articles demonstrate, the image of Japan as unchanging has never been as inappropriate as it is today. Japan is going through a great transformation comparable to the periods following the Meiji Restoration of 1868 and the end of World War II. It took about 20 years to consolidate each of those two previous transformations. The Meiji Constitution was adopted in 1889, 21 years after the Restoration. It was only in 1964 that Japan hosted the Olympics and drew the world's attention to its emergence as a vibrant democracy and economic superpower, 19 years after the end of the war.
