Vintage Photos of Japan's Daily Life Taken by Arnold Genthe, 1908

The working class faced harsh conditions in factories and mines, and many rural farmers were forced to migrate to the cities to find work.
At the same time, the Meiji period also saw significant changes in Japanese culture and society. The traditional feudal system was abolished, and the Emperor was elevated to a position of supreme authority.
This shift marked a significant departure from the past, as Japan’s leaders sought to create a more centralized and unified national identity.

Yes, nice pictures! Impressions of a culture that is completely exotic to me! But one should not forget that at this time the oppression of the Koreans by the Japanese began. They were reduced to a kind of slave nation. Completely excluded from education and completely oppressed. When Korea was liberated after World War II, a large portion of the population was illiterate. That's why the achievement of at least the South Koreans is very impressive to have developed their country so much!
