Why is meiji revolution called a bloodless revolution?

The Meiji Revolution, often referred to as the Meiji Restoration of 1868, is called a bloodless revolution because it involved relatively minimal violence and bloodshed compared to other revolutions. It marked the transition of Japan from feudal rule under the Tokugawa shogunate to a modern state, with power restored to the emperor. The change was largely achieved through political negotiation and the support of various factions, rather than widespread conflict. While there were some skirmishes, the overall movement emphasized reform over violent upheaval.
