Japan's modern history is unlike any other country. 80 years before this they were an insular feudal society and 40 years after this they were the envy of the Western world technologically.
It is pretty interesting. Personally, I think a large part of it was religion (and it's encouraging fanatics), and when the original religious fanaticism couldn't be focused on the state religion, it effectively became refocused on capitalism (and a lot of cults).
