Japan (i/dʒəˈpæn/; Japanese: 日本 Nippon [nip̚põ̞ɴ] or Nihon [nihõ̞ɴ]; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, "State of Japan") is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The kanji that make up Japan's name mean "sun origin", and Japan is often called the "Land of the Rising Sun".
Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which make up about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan's population of 126 million is the world's tenth largest. Approximately 9.1 million people live in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, which is the sixth largest city proper in the OECD. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the world's largest metropolitan area with over 35 million residents and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy.
The Japan Pavilion is a Japan-themed pavilion that is part of the World Showcase, within Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Its location is between The American Adventure and Moroccan Pavilions.
The Japan Pavilion is one of the original World Showcase pavilions and had been in planning since the late 1970s. Many attractions have been proposed for the pavilion and one show building was built, but left unused. Meet the World was one planned attraction and was a clone of the attraction Meet the World that was once at Tokyo Disneyland. But because management thought that the Japanese film's omission of World War II might upset many Veterans, it was dropped. The show was so close to opening that the show building and rotating platform was built, but not used.
For years, Imagineers have considered building an indoor roller coaster attraction based on Matterhorn Bobsleds from Disneyland but themed to Japan's Mount Fuji inside a replica of Mount Fuji. At one point, Godzilla or a large lizard attacking guests in their cars was considered. Fujifilm originally wanted to sponsor the ride in the early 1990s, but Kodak, a major Epcot sponsor, convinced Disney to decline the sponsorship. Luckily, the Matterhorn derived design elements survived to be incorporated into Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. Another proposed attraction was a walk-through version of "Circle-Vision", in which guests would board and walk through a Shinkansen (bullet train) and look through windows (actually film screens) that showcase Japan's changing landscapes. The train would have shaken and moved like a train traveling through the countryside.
Japan is referred to in Gulliver's Travels, the satire by Jonathan Swift.
Part III of the book has the account of Lemuel Gulliver's visit to Japan, the only real location visited by him. It is used as a venue for Swift's satire on the actions of Dutch traders to that land. His description reflects the state of European knowledge of the country in the 17th and early 18th centuries, and the tensions due to commercial rivalry between the English and the Dutch at that time.
Japan is shown on the map at the beginning of part III, which also shows the island of "Yesso" (i.e. Hokkaido), "Stats island" (Iturup) and "Companys Land" (Urup) to the north. The map also marks the Vries Strait and Cape Patience, though this is shown on the northeast coast of Yesso, rather than as part of Sakhalin, which was little known in Swift’s time. On the island of Japan itself the map shows "Nivato" (Nagato), Yedo, "Meaco" (Kyoto), Inaba and "Osacca" (Osaka)
The text describes Gulliver's journey from Luggnagg, which took fifteen days, and his landing at "Xamoschi" (i.e. Shimosa} which lies "on the western part of a narrow strait leading northward into a long arm of the sea, on the northwest part of which Yedo, the metropolis stands". This description matches the geography of Tokyo Bay, except that Shimosa is on the north, rather than the western shore of the bay.

Spent the last few days washing the shoji screens to remove the old paper, measuring and cutting Mr Okuno's handmade paper to fit the screens, pasting them on... It's been quite repetitive and I'm only half done! You'll also get to see Mr Ushiro's son at work. At 22, he's probably one of the youngest tatami craftsmen in Japan. #wakayama #ryujinmura #龍神村 #kominka #古民家 #tatami #畳 #shoji #障子 Instagram: https://instagram.com/ryunohara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryunoharafarm/ Sign up for the newsletter at ryunohara.com Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday & Saturday (Japan time) Send mail: Ryunohara 523 Hiroihara, Ryujinmura, Tanabe-shi, Wakayama Prefecture Japan 645-0523 About Ryunohara: Ryunohara is a tea and bee farm in progress.

Working closely with the founders of the Indigo Invitational, an inclusive raw denim community celebrating fades through friendly competition, we have crafted a proprietary black tee in Wakayama, Japan. Exclusive to Okayama Denim, the Indigo Invitational Tee is printed as an old school print press on the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan. No automation, no laser technology, no BS. The tees are screen printed piece by piece, with a 3 layer application of paint. The Indigo Invitational Tee was born from the idea of creating a product or garment that would tie the community of dye-hard (see what we did there!) denimheads together in style. *Shot on an iPhone 11 -------------------------------------------- Visit us at: www.okayamadenim.com SNS: www.instagram.com/okayamadenim www.facebook.c...
Oct.20 -- One of Apple's key suppliers is looking to turn around its prospects after falling nearly 50-percent over the last year.
