“Fall seven times and stand up eight.”
Ancient Japan
300BC-1192AD
Japan
/ dʒ ə ˈ p ć n /
( Japanese :
日本
Nihon or
Nippon ;
formally 日本国
Nippon-koku
or Nihon-koku ,
literally the State of Japan )
is an
island nation
in
East Asia .
Located in the
Pacific Ocean ,
it lies to the east of the
Sea of Japan ,
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
characters
that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is
sometimes referred to as the " Land
of the Rising Sun ".
Japan is an
archipelago
of
6,852 islands .
The four largest islands are
Honshū ,
Hokkaidō ,
Kyūshū
and
Shikoku ,
together accounting for ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan
has the world's
tenth-largest population ,
with over 127 million people. The
Greater Tokyo Area ,
which includes the
de facto
capital city of
Tokyo
and several surrounding
prefectures ,
is the
largest metropolitan area
in the world, with over 30 million residents. Archaeological research
indicates that people lived in Japan as early as the
Upper Paleolithic
period. The first written mention of Japan is in
Chinese history
texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other nations followed by
long periods of isolation has characterized
Japan's history .
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries victory in the
First Sino-Japanese War ,
the
Russo-Japanese War ,
and
World War I
allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing
militarism. The
Second Sino-Japanese War
of 1937 expanded into part of
World War II ,
which came to an end in 1945 following the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki . Since
adopting its revised
constitution
in 1947, Japan has maintained a unitary constitutional monarchy with an
emperor
and an elected parliament called the
Diet . "Source:
