		Showa marked the reign of Emperor Hirohito who led Japan during its harsh colonisation of much of Asia in the 1930s, entry into World War II and defeat in 1945, and later the post-war years when the nation rose again to become the second largest economy in the world.

		By the end of the Meiji Period (1868~1912), Japan was a considerable power in Asia.
		This was followed by the succession of the Emperor Hirohito (Showa) and his Showa Period (1926~1989).
		The so-called "lost decade", a prolonged period of stagnation and recession which followed caused revolutionary changes to the banking system, increased unemployment and a sharp rise in foreign investment in Japan, which in turn is bringing about changes to the Japanese way of doing business.

	History of Fermented Tofu
		During Japan's Edo Period (1600 to 1868) the kingdom of Ryukyu formally belonged to China, but in fact it was more closely tied with the Satsuma Han, a powerful domain in southern Kyushu.
		During this period, while China was militarily weak, the increasingly powerful Meiji government in 1871 made Ryukyu a part of Kagoshima prefecture, then in 1872 renamed it Ryukyu Han (feudal domain), but allowed the existing emperor, Sho Tai, to continue his rein.
		During the Taisho period (1912-1926) and the early Showa period (1926 to present), according to a survey of old citizens of Okinawa done by Yasuda (1983), tofu-yo was popular among the upper classes in the Okinawan cities of Shuri (the former capitol) and Naha (the new capital and a major port?).
