Description:

How times have changed. With the end of World War II, Japan’s capability to wage another war was voluntarily curtailed with the adoption of a Japanese constitution that limited the powers and reach of the military. Japan was then able to focus its energies in building an economy that became one of the strongest in the world, making Japan the leading economic power in Asia.
