	Meiji Era
		To sum up the various movements and new genres within the Meiji print I have touched on here, it bears repeating that the most significant difference between the Meiji and Tokugawa prints is not in the form of the prints, but in the new structure of participation.
		From the low caste urban commoner excluded from politics and self-representation, the audience of the popular print in bakumatsu-early Meiji transformed (without changing physical bodies) into a people who were the nation, who were at least symbolically represented, and ultimately capable of influencing the decisions of its rulers.
		Though Meiji censorship could be as harsh or harsher, and was much more systematic than that of the Tokugawa bakufu, these restrictions, being ostensibly for the good of all people (of the nation) did not stir up the kind of resentment and reaction that the latter did, by pressing down from above.
