An interactive site on Japan explores the Meiji Restoration.

http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/Exhibitions/Meiji/english/html/menu.html

Six hosts introduce students to a variety of themes.

Students can explore emporers, samurai, religions, and politics. Another theme explores the arts including ceramics and the tea ceremony and another theme the wedding ceremony. Students can learn about the Japanese wars with Russia and China, the diet, politics, the Ginza, industry. The illustrations are two dimensional. The text is short and to the point. The interactiveness will keep students interested since they can always return to the menu and select another topic.
