Time background

Taisho era is a short and relatively stable period. The fundamental feature of this era is that the tide of Dazheng democracy has swept through all fields of culture.

Since the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the Russo-Japanese War, Japanese monopoly capital has developed rapidly and grown into the only imperialist country in Asia. In the process of capitalist development, a new middle class, the middle class, has gradually formed in both cities and rural areas.
