	City Mayors: Local government in Japan
		Japan’s system of local government, in place for over half a century, is relatively straightforward to understand, though it does not hit the headlines outside of Japan very often and is therefore not understood by many in the local government community internationally.
		Japan’s modern municipal system, on the other hand, is a much more recent creation, having resulted from the wave of mergers promoted by central government in the early 1950s, which saw their number decrease by 50 per cent.
		Japan has experienced periods of municipal mergers before – in the late 19th century when almost 70,000 municipalities were amalgamated into 15,000 units and in the post-war period referred to earlier.

	Japan doubles whale hunt \| Greenpeace International
		Plans by the Government of Japan to 'sharply' increase its take of minke whales, and to resume catching both fin and humpback whales under the guise of scientific research, are a deadly slap in the face for the international community, making a mockery of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) and international efforts to control whaling.
		The secret proposal from Japan, which has been submitted for consideration at the IWC meeting beginning on May 27 in Ulsan, Korea, will see new "scientific" quotas with a minke whale take of 880 in the Antarctic in addition to a catch of some 10 humpback and fin whales.
		Korean Government statistics show that between ten and a hundred times more whales are "accidentally" caught in Korea than in countries that do not have a domestic whale meat market (Japan has a similiarly high rate of "accidental" catches, otherwise known as bycatch).
