JAPAN
INTRODUCTION 
 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 often referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".
 Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 6,852 islands. 
The four largest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, 
and Shikoku, which together comprise about ninety-seven 
percent of Japan's land area. 
 Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 
126 million people. Honshū's Greater Tokyo Area, which 
includes the de facto capital of Tokyo and several 
surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area 
in the world, with over 30 million residents.
 Japan entered into a long period of isolation in the 
early 17th century, which was only ended in 1853 
when a United States fleet pressured Japan to open to 
the West. Nearly two decades of internal conflict and 
insurrection followed before the Meiji Emperor was 
restored as head of state in 1868 and the Empire of 
Japan was proclaimed, with the Emperor as a divine 
symbol of the nation. 
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victories 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 in 1941, which came to an end in 
1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and 
Nagasaki.
 Japan is a member of the United Nations, the G7, the 
G8, and the G-20 major economies. A major economic 
great power, Japan is a developed country and has the 
world's third-largest economy by nominal GDP and the 
world's fourth-largest economy by purchasing power 
parity. It is also the world's fourth-largest exporter and 
fourth-largest importer.
