Answer 1

Answer:

I believe that you mean it's cultural identity-in which the Tokugawa Shogunate or the Edo Period would work.

This was the period in history where it was last isolated, and after it toppled the Meiji Restoration happened and Japan began to open up to outsiders. It was a period of peace of 250 years and where a new merchant class was formed, the population increased rapidly and urbanization occurred, but the isolation increased to block off western influences like Christianity.
