Both wars were territorial disputes in Chinese regions. The Sino War in which Japan was the aggresser, and the Russian War in which the Russians were the aggresser. Reason being; the Russians, Germans, and the French semi-threatened Japan to give up some of it's won territories from the Sino War in 1894-1895. Outnumbered 3 to 1, Japan reluctantly with-drew, but to put it mildly, was angry about it. At the same time, France & Germany silently disappear from the scene leaving Russia alone to not only stay in the Chinese regions but build up it's forces. This really sets Japan off (really angers them). By 1904, both countries KNOW they are going to war with each other.
Japan strikes first in February 1904 at Port Arthur...yes it's a surprise torpedo attack inside a harbor by IJN Destroyers. Not a very devastating attack, some Russian warships are sunk, some damaged, but enough for declarations of war for the both of them.

How many wars has Japan been in?
Japan has been in an almost constant state of warfare since recorded history. Mostly it was internal conflicts for control of the country, or certain parts of it, which were largely put to rest when Ieyasu Tokugawa seized the Shogunate and united most of Japan. Beyond that, there were occasional skirmishes with Korea or China, some tensions when the Europeans arrived, and periodic unrest with some of the more remote areas of the country wanting autonomy from central government. In 1905, there was the short but spectacular Russo-Japanese War where Japan flexed its newly found industrial muscle and crushed the Russian navy. Then in the 1930's came Japanese expansionism which saw the invasion of China and Korea, much along the same lines as Nazi Germany, and generally flowed into what became the Second World War. Any book on Ieyasu Tokugawa would give a good insight into Japanese feudal military history.

How did the sino-japanese and russo-japanese wars spring out of japans new strength as a modernized nation?
The 1894 Sino War was an opportunity for the Japanese to use (try out) their new army & navy against a real enemy. Test them out, correct any shortcomings, improve their equipment, etc. The 1904 Russian War was the big test. Modern Russian battleships built under French designs against modern Japanese battleships built to British designs. This would also effect the European navies...what would be better...French designed battleships or British designed battleships? The Russo-Japanese War would prove which design was the best (it was the British designed battleships). The British launched HMS Dreadnought immediately after the war (based on lessons learned from the Russian/Japanese War). Dreadnought started a whole new naval arms race world wide, which ultimately led to WWI in 1914.
In Japan why do they have war?
In Article 9 of the Japanese constitution, it claims that the Japanese have renounced war. This constitution was written after World War II, and so although they have participated in wars in the past, such as the Russo-Japanese War or Sino-Japanese War, it does not mean that they are in war currently, or will be in a war in the future. If you are asking why Japan engages in war, the answer is the same as why any country would engage in war -- territorial expansion, imperialism, colonization, racism, etc.
