Harmsworth`s Universal Encyclopaedia 1920s - Social History. Map showing the progress of railways in the land of the rising sun. The development of the Japanese railway network commenced shortly after the country opened its borders to formal international contact after a shogunate-imposed isolation of about 250 years, and was initiated along with many other changes to Japanese society at the time so that Japan could achieve rapid modernization. Japan is an island country in East Asia, located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It is bordered on the west by the Sea of Japan, and extends from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north toward the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south.
