Throughout her history until the Meiji Revolution (1867–68) Japan was under the influence of Chinese culture; cultural stimuli and encouragement came from China either directly or through Korea. By adapting the imported culture to her own cultural heritage and to local conditions Japan was able to pursue her own unique development. Nevertheless, a huge cultural gap persisted between the two countries, and Japan had constantly to repeat the process of importing, digesting and amending Chinese culture in order to advance her own level of learning and civilisation. As is well known, after the Meiji Revolution a similar process occurred between Japan and the Western countries as she developed her culture and economy by importing their science and technology.
