Japan was a very backward country up to the mid 1800s - in fact, it had to adopt the culture of the neighbouring countries as its own (japanese kanji means "han zi" meaning Chinese characters...). Almost everything traditionally japanese comes from China (tea ceremony, japanese temples, martial arts etc)
I agree with the first answer - Japan is arrogant and refuses to admit its wrongdoings in the past.
See my answer from another question:
The question of Japan and its war time role in Asia, for which it has never apologised (read about the Nanjing massacre - in which the Japanese had killed anywhere up to 600,000 Chinese civilians in a few weeks).
Again, think of it this way: If the Germans after WWII had not apologised for the holocaust, and its prime minister today still visits the grave of those who perpetuated the extermination of the jews (the tomb of the unknown soldier in japan contains the grave of japanese war criminals), their school books still claim that Germany was not the aggressor in WWII, forced Jewish women into sexual slavery, tested chemical weapons on civilians (BTW, the pepetrators were never convicted in exchange for giving their research to the US military) denies the Holocaust took place, and at the same time, Germany wanted a permanent seat on the United Nations, would the jewish people agree?
