A good balance of Westernizing and keeping tradition.
He didn't actually do shit, he lucked out in getting captured by competent provincial lords who became the new government.
the hat
>what makes him different with any asian monarchs that makes his rules pretty successful?
By not ruling at all. The Meiji Emperor was just a figurehead sat on a horse by the SatChoDoHi alliance (the future Genro basically) angry Isshin Shishi reformers and used to justify
>Bringing down the Tokugawa.
>Abolish feudalism & supracentralize Japanese society & government.
>And singlemindedly mobilize the state towards breakneck modernization.
Its not as if he's like a Chinese Emperor or Thai King and actually decreed and ran things, Jap monarchs havent been in charge of shit since the 1100s.
>since 1100s
1200s but close enough.
The Kamakura-Shogunate started in 1185, moron
There are 22 dots on his funny hat. What do those numbers represent?
The 22 times he fricked your mother
they probably represent the number of prefectures that existed in japan at that time.
Anon just got fricking destroyed
Destroyed? Just like how I destroyed your mother last night. Get rekt you homosexual
Cope you are seething because he rekt you by fricking your mother. He fricked your mother like the bawd she is. You stupid homosexual he destroyed your mother lmao.
japanese penis size in mm
the jaw.
That's actually a funny one: Jap nobility was rich enough to eat white rice with every meal, however, that made them horrendously mineral deficient, which ins't exactly good for bone development. Also, only chewing soft food didn't help with getting that chad jaw either.
How does he walk through doors? Like if he needs to shit does he crawl into the bathroom or have an entire palace with 15ft doors? Open plan? But then he shits in public? Does he get off to people watching him shit?
there are special emperor-shaped doors throughout the imperial palace
bigger hat
Papuan ancestry
Cope. You are seething because I fricked your mothers.
Do you think the geography of Japan contributed to them not getting colonized as hard as other countries? It's an isolated island that doesn't have a ton of resources, placed right next to fricking China.
The Tokugawa contrary to pop history did keep advancing the country. By all metrics Japan rapidly improved under them. They closed off Japan to every but the dutch whom they restricted to one port and continued to get information from the outside world. The Dutch were grew pretty weak among the european empires and while they still held on to Indonesia it was in there best interest as well to not let many other Europeans in their sphere of influence.
>rapidly
No, barely
by all metrics they did. Population, literacy, technology, etc.
>they didn't have powdered whigs and garbage early 19th century steam engines! So primitive!
They caught up in less than 50 years, because they only lacked military technology and steam engines. Those can be provisioned easily, a stable government, infrastructure and high literacy not so much
Because he doesn't actually rule and left the governing to competent ex-Samurais. He just cheer them on from time to time and it gets those ex-samurai diamonds
he didn't do anything. okubo toshimichi and ito hirobumi were the masterminds behind modern japan
