WHile yes, force was used to "open up" Japan, they did end up adapting western technology, which was why they were able to take over much of Asia during WWII. Japan (and much of Asia)is also more willing to accept western culture than the middle east though. It's normal in Asia for parents to send their kids to after school English on top of piano and soccer.
