eli5 How did Japan become a technology superpower after WW2?
In: Other
I was in a Japanese naval museum and according to that museum, Japan repurposed war technology into standard consumer technology. There wasn’t much else said since the focus of the museum was on battleships and not post war recovery but that’s the reason they gave.
They did however give some example about the optics/targeting equipment of the Yamato battleship as an example which makes me wonder if Japanese camera brands like Canon and Nikon benefitted from this.
