Because the government under the emperor before the war was all about war for expansion and oil etc.
When the United States took over Japan and installed the Constitution war wasn’t a priority it was all about capitalism. A lot of the companies that you see today were around before the war Mitsubishi etc.
Japan took off money wise, same thing happened with South Korea when the United States got involved. South Korea did a lot of its rebuilding by itself though
