Society ... In 1885 an intellectual, Yukichi Fukuzawa, wrote the influential essay Leaving Asia, arguing that Japan should orient itself at the civilized countries of the West, leaving behind the hopelessly backward Asian neighbors, namely Korea and China. This essay certainly contributed to the economic and technological rise of Japan in the Meiji period, but it also may have laid the foundations for later Japanese colonialism in the region. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiji_period
