So I was wondering.. How exactly did Japan become such a prominent and economically wealthy country? Japan has only been "opened" to the rest of the world for about 150 years, and before that it was a totally isolated country that was behind in technology (still using swords as their main weapons when it opened), and its such a small country

So how the hell in less than 100 years did it become so powerful that even all the allies in WW2 were scared of fighting them on their soil without massive losses?

And now its still the 3rd best economy in the world and longest life expectency, and possibly the most technologically advanced country...

Just seems odd how Japan can do all of this in such a short time, while other countries that were backwards when they discovered the rest of the world are still 3rd world countries

Foreigners and their gunboat diplomacy.

"Hey check out my big gun!" - Foreigner
"...I'll show you... someday just you wait!" - Japanese

And they never got over their inferiority complex and still work themselves to death (by low birthrates)

Prior to WW2, Japan was a land of savages and barbarians.

They were feared in war because they had no respect for life, whether it be an enemy's or their own (suicide bombers, banzai charges, hiding themselves in caves and surrounding themselves with dynamite to blow themselves up whenever US troops drew near). Now imagine a invading a country full of such people. Thankfully, we had nukes at this time.

When they finally surrendered, instead of raping and slaughtering them like they did to other Asians, the US built them into the successful nation they are today. Most of their current culture comes from America.

It's ultimately a kind of complicated question, since economic development in general is kind of a mystery. But I don't think it's that unprecedented. Europe/America was far less developed in 1854, so they had a lot less catching up to do than other countries. And Japan managed to walk the line of adopting western technology and modernizing as fast as they could without being colonized. And although they weren't superior Japs or anything, Edo period Japan was prosperous and powerful enough that they weren't on a completely unlevel playing field even to begin with. After all, Perry came to Japan to try to open trade relations with them, he wasn't trying to take them over.

1. Read a history book, it is pretty cool.

2. They don't have a real "army" anymore, which means they never will nor plan to declare war. No one wants to/will fuck with them because they have extremely strong allies (The US) and their island is of no intrest to anyone. So basically all that money that the US wastes on attacking desert lizards, Japan spends on science, healthcare, and education.

First of all "otaku culture" is a meaningless term because someone can be an otaku for pretty much anything.

No. It would get the "if it has a touhou image it's /jp/ related OH WAIT NO FUCK OFF" that they always fucking get, which you would know if you were here even one fucking week ago.

If it were just the one guy I would just ignore him, but I don't think he's alone. I think the visitors right now are outnumbering us - although that's a vague impression and I could certainly be wrong.

>they're just people with the same fucked perspective of "how 4chan works" as its stupid elite little club of social outcasts
Yeah, and they're the ones who have the right AND authority of DICTATING "how 4chan works"

Don't like it? Build your own little website and you can be sole visionary dictator there. In here you have to deal with other people's rules. Don't like it? Leave.

It's more like showing up to a bunch of people having a picnic in a park, and blaring an air horn, and then when you are asked to stop using that fucking air horn you proudly proclaim that the park is public property and what you're doing isn't illegal so they should stop complaining.

also it's quite ironic that the /jp/ users are complaining because /jp/ isn't exactly how they envisioned even though there's no actual well-defined set of rules about what belongs in /jp/ and what doesn't. let's have a moderator create a sticky and clear up the confusion

Anime/manga is more understandable, because there is another major board dedicated to it. Stuff like this which is about Japan itself, when theres not another board dedicated to Japan itself, is more of a gray area. Probably will be deleted pretty soon though
