Meiji Era (1868–1912): Early Signs of Resistance and their Connection to Punk and Anti-Establishment Movements (oct 23, 1868 – jul 30, 1912)

Description:

The Meiji period was a time of rapid modernization and Westernization in Japan, but these changes were often imposed by the government rather than arising from grassroots demand. As a result, various groups—peasants, workers, and intellectuals—began to resist the new social order, laying the groundwork for later countercultural and anti-establishment movements, including punk.
