Japan’s health care system is a source of great pride for the country. Japan attained universal health coverage over 50 years ago and the country's health outcomes are some of the best in the world by many measures, while health care spending is at relatively low levels.
Despite the many positive aspects of the system, it faces challenges. The demographic wave of rising numbers of elderly will put new pressures on the care delivery system and the nation’s budget. Moreover, the country has high utilization of many health care services, care delivery is often fragmented, and measures of quality are not commonly available or necessarily used for continuous improvement. How will Japan address these issues and manage the health care needs and rising costs of its aged and still aging society? What can other countries, such as the United States, learn from the Japanese experience, and can new care delivery innovations taking place around the globe help address Japan's challenges?
Ohaiyogozaimasu! This presentation was crafted to help those traveling to Japan for the first time, providing priceless tips that will help navigate and experience Japan to the fullest! Enjoy! : )

Japanese History
ANCIENT JAPAN
The First Japanese
Human beings have lived in Japan for at least 30,000 years. During the last ice age Japan was connected to mainland Asia by a land bridge and stone age hunters were able to walk across. When the ice age ended about 10,000 BC Japan became a group of islands.
About 8,000 BC the ancient Japanese learned to make pottery. The period from 8,000 BC to 300 BC is called the Jomon. The word Jomon means 'cord marked' because those people marked their pottery by wrapping cord around it. The Jomon people lived by hunting, fishing and collecting shellfish. The Jomon made tools of stone, wood and bone. They also made clay figurines of people and animals called dogu.
Between 300 BC and 300 AD a new era began in Japan. At that time the Japanese learned to grow rice. They also learned to make tools of bronze and iron. The Japanese also learned to weave cloth.
This period is called Yayoi. (It was named after a village called Yayoicho). Farming meant a more settled lifestyle. Yayoi people lived in villages of wooden huts. Farming and other skills also meant society became divided into classes. The leaders of Yayoi society were buried in mounds away from the ordinary people's burial grounds.
The Kofun Period in Japan
The Yayoi period was followed by the Kofun (from 300 AD to 710 AD).
At this time Japan gradually became united. The rich and powerful men of the era were buried in vast tombs called Kofun. Clay figures called haniwa were placed around the tombs to guard them. At that time Japan was heavily influenced by China. About 400 AD writing was introduced into Japan from China. The Japanese also learned to make paper from the Chinese. They also learned to make porcelain, silk and lacquer. The Japanese also learned to plan cities in the Chinese way.
According to tradition in 552 AD the king of Paekche in Korea sent priests to convert Japan to Buddhism. The native Japanese religion is called Shinto, which means 'the way of the gods'. Shinto teaches that spirits are present everywhere in nature. Every natural phenomena such as a mountain, lake, tree, waterfall and even rock has a spirit. Shinto does not have prophets or a sacred book but its teachings were passed on in myths. Shinto has many ceremonies and festivals. The two religions, Buddhism and Shinto co-existed peacefully in Japan. Shinto is more concerned with this life and its followers frequently pray for things they need or desire. Buddhism is more concerned with what happens after death. Most of the Japanese were happy to practice both religions.
The Kofun Period in Japan
Furthermore in the 7th century AD the emperor became more powerful. Prince Shotoku (574-622) ruled as regent to Empress Suiko. He was a patron of the arts and learning. He brought scholars from China and Korea to Japan and he adopted the Chinese calendar.
Shotoku also built the Horyuji Buddhist temple and monastery in 607. It burned down in 670 but it was rebuilt and became ...

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Feudalism--Derived from the Latin (Roman)
word feodum (fief). Feudalism describes a

tenet was harmony: “Harmony is the

between wisdom and madness. It is a
closed circle.”

10. Unification of Japan
Prior to the ban on guns by later rulers Oda Nobunaga

This helped protect Japan from Mongol invasion. In
1582 Nobunaga fell victim to the treachery of one of his
own generals.
In 1598 Hideyosh, the lord after Oda Nobuganaga, died
without leaving a capable successor. Tokugawa Ieyasu

remain there until they are 19 or 20, learning
reading, writing and religion; as soon as they
come out, they marry and apply themselves
to politics." (Francis Xavier)
14. Samurai continued
• Maintaining the household was the
main duty of samurai women. This
was especially crucial during early
feudal Japan, when warrior husbands
were often traveling abroad or
engaged in clan battles.
• After a male samurai child was born,
he would receive his first sword in a
ceremony called mamori-gatana.
15. Haiku
