First sentence: With the bursting of its asset and real estate market bubble in 1990 and 1991, Japan's economy entered into a long period of mediocre performance that by 2002 and early 2003 was accompanied by growing pessimism about Japan's future among scholars, policymakers, and economic commentators, both inside and outside Japan.
