You mean Meiji Restoration? Hmm, you are right. But I am not wrong, they are influenced, and still Japanese use Chinese characters. The Japanese elites read Chinese books, including Abe Shinzo.They are more Chinese influence than Confucianism, because Japan turn away from Confucianism after 1868 and it was finally removed altogether by USA in 1945.
The other two Confucianism influenced countries are Japan and Korea.
