The arrival of Commodore Perry in 1854 set the stage for Japan's
dramatic leap from the Middle Ages into modernity. In 1868, the
last sh¯ogun gave way to a 15-year-old Emperor who dressed
in Western-style clothes. Edo became Tokyo, education became a
national passion, and the dichotomy between ancient shared values
and new imported styles and forms deepened.
