Meiji
By 1868 the Tokugawa policy of Japan's self-imposed isolation was no longer feasible. The Emperor Meiji moved with his court from Kyoto to Tokyo, a constitutional monarchy was formed, and the country set out to master the science and technology that made the western nations economically strong.
During the Meiji period (1868-1912) the country was flooded with many styles of western dress, especially long dresses and trousers.
