Investopedia explains 'Lost Decade'

The Lost Decade was the result of the Japanese asset-price bubble of the 1980s coming to a halt. Following years of cheap and easily available credit for Japanese investors, the Bank of Japan increased interest rates sharply to curb inflation, leading to both a credit crisis and a crash in the equity markets.
