From 1450 C.E. to 1750 C.E., Japan experienced unexpected political and economic transformation, yet the cultural continuities were much perserved. It was during this time period that the Japanese government became more politically centralized and economically flourishing. Meanwhile, the cultural traditions were much maintained, though new forms existed.

This was an agricultural economy with a population of 13 billion. Japan did not associate with any other country because they believed foreign influence was a destabilizing factor.
