I don’t know about Japan’s economy. Have they been printing money or is the economy growing?

The definition of inflation is more money in the system. Which leads to higher prices. Deflation is the opposite. It’s cause and effect, but most people think the effect is the definition.

Apparently. Yet they've suffered from deflation for decades.

The definition of inflation is more money in the system.

Not the modern definition.
