The Japan became a miliary society due to ever-increasing imperialistic tendencies with the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century. The number of changes and reforms that took place in this country effectively made them an imperialistic nation which wanted a lot of new land.

Women in samurai society

The place of women in Japanese society provides an interesting blend of illusion and myth. There are two distinct Japanese societies - public and private. The popular Western image of the subservient Japanese woman is real, it is however, only an image. In their private family role, women quite often dominate the male members of the household. Judged by Western standards, the women of Japan are unusually dedicated to their families. The current position of women in Japanese society can be attributed to the vestiges of two old philosophies - Confucianism, and Samurai based feudalism. These influences are still strong, however in spite of these influences the public role of women has changed markedly since the beginning of World War II.
