 Armed Forces of the World  About ruining Japanese culture - to USN-MID StrategyPage.com
About your statement that Japanese culture was ruined by Meiji and post-WW2 modernizations, I strongly differ.
What ruined part of Japanese culture was the early-17th century decision to totally close the country and its culture and answering the challenge of those strange long nosed white people by closing oneself out of history.
On the other hand, the changes brought about by the Meiji reformation, just as by the post-WWII reformation (even if the latter was foreign-imposed) enabled the tackling of their problems by the Japanese, the birth of local responses, including e.g.

Nihonjinron describes a discourse (ron) in and about Japan the topic of which is the Japanese people (nihonjin).
Coming out of academic reflections that helped inform the Meiji reformation in the mid-nineteenth century, it later acquired its nationalist and racialist vocabulary through interaction with more global discourses on nation and race.
Nihonjinron is not atypical of discourses in and out of Japan—and in and out of anthropology—that attempt to encapsulate essential configurations of qualities that mark a national population as distinct in itself and from its neighbors.

 Japanese Lore Associated with Orion
While incorporation of a lunar calendar and later complete adoption of a Gregorian calendar in post Meiji era Japan led to more precise methods for determining times for planting and harvesting, many old farmers in rural agrarian areas still use methods that are centuries if not millennia old.
Certainly, when it comes to the scientific understanding of astronomical phenomena, the assertion cannot be denied, as Japan (until the Meiji Reformation) was generally decades if not centuries behind scientific development both on the Asian continent and in the West.
On the other hand, as history, archaeological evidence, and this review of lore indicates, Japanese were obviously not a people who blankly stared at their rice fields and never looked up nor a people who merely waited around to receive enlightenment from China or the West.

It was considered a more spiritual sword art which concentrated on developing the mind as well as skill.
