Japan

Here's a good link to climate and rainfall in Japan!

Over A Thousands...

To end the war as quickly as possible.

It can go from 75 degrees F to 90 degrees F. It is humid, and it rains frequently. I live in Florida and I found it cooler in Tokyo and a little less humid, but you will still sweat.

Two atomic bombs were dropped ; one upon the city of Hiroshima and the other upon Nagasaki .

Japan has made use of a large and highly disciplined labor force.

Depends on where you go. Very mountainous though, at points I think it looks like the Mountains of California (remember the background of the old MASH series?) The mountains have dense vegetation and seem to shoot straight up--not the gradual incline. All cities seem to look the same, though. No character, ugly ferro-concrete, and zero Urban planning. They look and feel like concrete islands with hundreds of rows of vending machines The hospital is next to the dump is next to the kindergarden is next to the driving range and parking building...

They have only really affected it a couple of times really. but the main fault is out at sea therefor it caused the 2011 tsunami. if the fault was in the centre of land they would have more to worry about. They have also built buildings that can resist earthquakes.

Townshend Harris was the first ambassador to Japan. While there he also negotiated the Treaty of Amity and Commerce (also known as the Townshend Harris Treaty) aloud Christian missionaries to enter the country

No: people in Japan do not eat only fish and rice. They eat the same kinds of food you do, no matter where you are: Japan (especially the cities) has perhaps the largest number of restaurants or other eating establishments in the world, and virtually every kind of cuisine is available. Foreign foods have been incorporated into the Japanese diet for hundreds of years: tempura, for example, is originally a Portuguese dish.

Most people in Japan, it is true, do eat much rice, rice having been the staple food of the country for many hundreds of years (though millet was frequently substituted by the poor more than about 100 years ago).

Because Japan comprises many mountainous islands (which means that most of the population is relatively close to the sea), fish is a large part of the diet for people living in Japan; it is, however, by no means the exclusive diet of people in Japan.

The first leader, Oda Nobunaga worked to bring japan "under a single sword." He did not fully succeed, but did much to reduce the warlords' power. The second leader, Toyotomi Hideyoshi united Japan in 1590. The peace was held together only by personal loyalty, and when Hideyoshi died, clans began to quarrel once gain. The third leader, Tokogawa Leysu united the country once more in 1600. He founded a new capital at Edo, where he could watch over them. This finally ended the violence and the Tokugawa family ruled a peaceful, unified Japan until 1868.

The value of 100 yen from Nippon Ginko (Bank of Japan) is equivalent to 100 Japanese yen, which is a standard unit of currency in Japan. The actual worth in terms of other currencies fluctuates based on current exchange rates. As of the latest rates, 100 yen is typically worth a small amount in USD, often around 0.70 to 0.80 USD, but this can vary. Always check the latest exchange rates for the most accurate conversion.

None at all

Japan is advanced and very safe so you need zero vaccinations.

Japan is part of the Asia continent.

Historians have long speculated on the course of WWII if the US hadn't dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. At one end of the spectrum is the view that the Japanese war machine was near its breaking point and that its leaders would have surrendered anyway, perhaps only a few months after they actually capitulated. On the other hand, the US War Department developed plans for a worst-case scenario in which the Imperial government, due to its long-held code of honor, chose to fight to the death. Half a million or more Allied troops would have been deployed in a land invasion. They would have met resistance potentially stronger than that put up by the Nazis, with the war possibly having lasted until 1948-1950. In either case the West's focus would have been directed away from European reconstruction for a longer time which likely would have allowed Soviet forces to occupy more territory. In addition, without having seen the horror of atomic destruction there would have been a temptation to use those weapons in some later conflict - after more-powerful bombs had been developed.

It's also been speculated that a Japanese surrender could have been achieved with far fewer civilian casualties if the bombs had been dropped on purely military targets, but again no one can know for sure.

Japan opened its ports after signing the Treaty of Kanagawa with the US in

1854 and began to intensively modernize and industrialize.

This gun was made in 1977. Early Japanese guns with fixed chokes generally don't hold value as well as later Japanese guns. Value depends on condition. They run from $400 up to $1000+ depending. Check the link and find your gun listed in the blue book.

There actually is such a thing as a Chinese geisha, however they do not share the same name as the Japanese geisha, and the culture differs from their Japanese counterpart.

The Chinese figures are a predecessor of the Japanese geisha.

In ancient China there was no stylized differentiation of classifying names due to the general degradation of women.

They were Classified among the prostitutes and in fact a character in their name means prostitute today,

艺妓，乐妓，名妓 ... etc.

though in the ancient time, those terms did not only mean prostitute.. it was just a general official name..

Some of them did not provide any sexual service, and they still were recognized by that name. The term during the more ancient periods, implied performer sometimes.

There are educational accounts and texts that have adopted the Japanese institution, geisha, for referring to a certain class of Chinese courtesan.

For in fact some services of these ancient Chinese women mostly dealt with classical Chinese arts; calligraphy, painting, music, poetry etc. and even spiritual, mutual understandings with clients of intellectual kind.

There are traces of this geisha tradition in a more primal form. Throughout the earliest dynasties of China.

Where they observe many values of humanity as they live extraordinary lives,

the accounts of the most famous of the Chinese geisha were recognized,

especially courtesans like 苏小小 Su Xiao Xiao from 502 Qi Dynasty China.

A woman who explored values of love, humanity and beauty.

The two cultures' (Japan and China) geishas can not be congenially compared.

They are very different figures related to each other,

Chinese Geisha no longer exist today because Chinese cultural revolution wiped all traces of courtesan culture.. Japanese Geisha are not even allowed in China.

By naturally organizing it into a specialized and functional society.

The factions that vied for control of Japan had power bases in different cities. Relocating the capital to their home regions was a natural logistical move to consolidate their rule.

It maintained the balance of power in the region.

People could settle in one place instead of having to move around to find food. (APEX Sociology)
