Abstract

[The term ‘miracle’ has been applied by westerners more than once to Japan’s modern history. It has been used to describe its achievements in Meiji, when in just half a century it developed from an obscure and isolated land of paddy fields to a major imperial power. It was used again just a few decades later, to describe the nation’s even more rapid postwar rise from the ashes of defeat to become by some measures the wealthiest on the planet, and by any measures a huge economic superpower.]
