	China and Japan, Chapter 16 by James D. Johnston
		The Empire of Japan consists of a chain of islands lying on the Eastern coast of the continent of Asia, and extending south-east and north-west from the latitude of 31° to 48° N., and including in longitude from the 129th to the 150th meridian.
		The sea of Japan is enclosed between this chain of islands, and the opposite coasts of Corea and Manchu Tartary, and communicates by means of straits with the Chinese Sea, on the south, the Pacific Ocean on the east, and the Sea of Ochotsk on the north.
		Japan, they say, was during that period of time governed by a succession, or evolution of seven celestial spirits,or gods, which are called by them the seven great celestial spirits, each of which reigned an immense but undetermined number of years.

		Japan and Britain, both of whom wanted to keep Russia out of Manchuria, signed the Treaty of Alliance in 1902, which was in effect until in 1921 when the two signed the Four Power Treaty on Insular Possessions, which took effect in 1923.
		Japan's military expansionism and quest for national self- sufficiency eventually led the United States in 1940 to embargo war supplies, abrogate a long-standing commercial treaty, and put greater restrictions on the export of critical commodities.
		Japan countered that it would not use force unless "a country not yet involved in the European war" (that is, the United States) attacked Germany or Italy.

	Empire of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Japan's culture of kawaii, or cute, epitomized by playful designs in ice cream colors such as cherry-blossom pink and tea green, is increasingly as recognizable around the world as Americana.
		Japan's role in the world has changed dramatically over the decades, from expansionist military empire in the first half of the 20th century to global economic superpower in the 1980s.
		Although its economy is still the second-largest in the world, the bursting of Japan's economic bubble in 1990 and its limping economy of the past decade have dimmed the American perception of Japan as a global financial competitor.

	Jonathan Swift - Court and Empire of Japan
		REGOGE was the thirty-fourth emperor of Japan, and began his reign in the year 341 of the Christian era, succeeding to Nena, a princess who governed with great felicity.
		There were two violent parties in the empire, which began in the time of the revolution above mentioned; and at the death of the empress Nena, were in the highest degree of animosity, each charging the other with a design of introducing new gods, and changing the civil constitution.
		This prince, before he succeeded to the empire of Japan, was king of Tedsu, a dominion seated on the continent, to the west side of Japan.

	Japan's Bridge to China: The Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902 - All Empires
		Important indemnities and trade concessions had come of these events, as had recognition of Japanese interests in "Corea." Japan was looked upon as distant and exotic, and not as a great power, but her six modern battleships, engineered, built and armed in British yards, constituted the strongest fleet in the Far East in 1901.
		Japan had been engaged at least since its Chinese war of 1894 in detaching the Korean kingdom from Chinese influence.
		This approach seemed to Japan the only means of securing her interests as she did not have the resources or financial credit to wage a long war.

These organizations focus mostly on military plots and assassinations.
		In Japan, people of influence are more and more often appealing for the restoration of the Emperor's divinity and to strengthen the Sintoist church (which was the official church before 1945).

	Emperor of Japan
		Japan did acquire an empire, beginning with the annexation of the Ryu Kyu Islands in 1875 and culminating in conquest of Southeast Asia in 1940-1942.

		After the introduction of Buddhism to Japan and the "merger" of Buddhist and Shintô practice in the eighth century A.D., the emperor continued to function as a shaman king.

	Guliver's Travels and Japan - Appendix: On An Account of the Court and Empire of Japan
		His most oblique use of Japan is in this "Account." In it almost nothing refers to the actual Asiatic country: "Japan" provides a disguised way to describe corruptionin English politics under George I and at the accession of George II in 1727.
		This British history is repeated in a mock-Oriental setting in "An Account of the Court and Empire of Japan"; in 1728 Swift's intention was still to further the Tory cause by denigrating the motives and reputation of Sir Robert Walpole.
		It is not known why Swift did not complete "An Account of the Court and Empire of Japan." Perhaps it was too patently libelous of great men to risk its publication.

	Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire . Enter Edo \| PBS
		After becoming supreme ruler in the late 16th century, Tokugawa Ieyasu moved Japan's capitol to Edo, (now known as Tokyo) transforming the sleepy fishing village into the country's premier political and economic center.
		Ieyasu and his heirs forced the country's daimyo lords to finance the expansion of Edo, and to live in the city during part of every other year.
		The new construction of the city and the vast number of samurai in need of goods and pleasurable pursuits lured merchants, craftsmen and entertainers from all over Japan, and by the 17th century, the population had surpassed a million, making Edo one of the largest cities in the world.

		This is a great primer on the history of Japan from the 'Warlord Period' to the end of its isolation in the 19th century.
		The series transitions into the exploation of Japan's self-imposed 200-year period of "seclusion" from the "barbarians," and concludes with the "opening" after a long period of isolation with the unexpected (and unsolicited) arrival of US steamships in the mid-19th century, forcing Japan to "open" to the rest of the world.
		It focuses on the differences of Japan in comparison to the West and the depth and advancements of the complexities of historical Japan.

		The situation facing the Christian community in Japan today, a century and a half since evangelization resumed in the mid-nineteenth century, is not totally different from that facing the Christian community in the Roman Empire a century and a half after Pentecost.
		When Constantine legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire, it was probably not due to a vision at the Milvian Bridge, but rather a recognition of the fact that by increasing just a few percent each year, Christians had become nearly half the population of the empire.

		An interesting sidelight concerning this 31-starred flag was the circumstance of its being framed in reverse, as a result of the obverse side's having suffered such decomposition from mildew that it had been necessary at some time in the flag's history to back that side with cotton batting.
		The General Order, which was to be issued through the Japanese Government, called upon all commanders in Japan and abroad to lay down their arms, cease hostilities at once, and to remain in their present locations, and it required that all Japanese except the police force in the main islands of Japan be disarmed.
