Japan became industrialized later than Great Britain, but earlier than the rest of Asia.

Explanation:

Japan is considered to be an "early late-developing nation" owing to the fact that Japan attained its period of industrialization only in the 19th century, though quite early than most other Asian countries but later than Great Britain and other European and Western Countries who have since attained their industrialized state since the 18th Century. During Japan's industrialization process and development, Japan borrowed heavily from the Western experiences with industrialization owing to the fact that Japan was behind them by a number of years.

Japan actively borrowed from the West throughout its development.
