What does “Japanizer” mean?

When the article says “He believed that Ethiopia was like a reflection of themselves, albeit a more prosperous one, so the two needed to learn from each other,” does that mean that he believed that Ethiopa was like a reflection of itself, or that Ethiopia is like a reflection of Japan? And wouldn’t Japan be the more prosperous reflection? Felicity4711 07:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I tried to clean it up. Japan for a time was a model for non-Western peoples who wanted to Westernize. The link explains "Japanizer" a bit better.--T. Anthony 16:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
