	Japanese Language: Article from Wikipedia
		Japanese is a relative of the Altaic language family.
		Japanese is a kind of creole, with an Altaic grammatical substructure, and core Austronesian vocabulary.
		Japanese also coined many neologisms (in kanji) to carry Western concepts; many of these were exported to Chinese and Korean via characters, in late 19th and early 20th century.

	Japanese name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Japanese names are usually written in kanji (Chinese characters), although some names use hiragana or even katakana.
		Japanese nationals are also required to give a romanized name for their passport.
		Often, part of the name comes from the wrestler's master, a place name (such as the name of a province, a river, or a sea), the name of a weapon, an item identified with Japanese tradition (like a koto or nishiki), or a term indicating superiority.

	Japanese language - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Specialists in Japanese historical linguistics all agree that Japanese is related to the Ryukyuan languages (including Okinawan); together, Japanese and Ryukyuan are grouped in the Japonic languages.
		Japanese dialects are typically mutually intelligible, although extremely geographically separated dialects such as Tōhoku-ben and Tsushima-ben may not be; in such cases speakers switch to the standard language with which all Japanese are familiar from school and from the media.
		Japanese has a lot of pronouns for use in different occasions, and different pronouns for men and women, younger or older, etc. These pronouns are not used all the time, but often elided when the reference has been established and is obvious from context.

	Japanese era name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upon his death, an emperor is thereafter referred to with the name of the era marked by their reign.
		Historically, prior to the Meiji Restoration, era names were changed on many different occasions including celebrations, major political incidents, and natural disasters, but emperors never posthumously took the name of an era.
		Incidentally, on modern official papers, those born prior to the Meiji period wrote not the era name in which they were born, but Edo period (No one born in that time period, over 130 years ago, is alive now).

	Reconstructing History — Japanese Historical Clothing Research
		When pressed by foreigners to name their native style of dress, they used the word "kimono" which means simply "thing to wear." In Japanese, it applies to any clothing, although sometimes the hemisphere-specific wafuku (Japanese clothes) and yofuku (Western clothes) are used instead to prevent confusion.
		This is not surprizing since the Japanese were known to have established a vigorous trade with their continental neighbours.
		More relevant to our study, two of the greatest Japanese works of prose, one semi-fictional novel and one diary, were written by Heian court women in the early 11th century.

	Japanese reactionaries' wrong use of name of DPRK denounced
		He in his article cites concrete facts that the Japanese reactionaries have disregarded and wrongly used the name of the DPRK, its symbol as an independent state, and gone to the lengths of restoring the defamatory title of Korea which Japanese used when it was under their colonial domination.
		Japanese reactionaries are so shameless as to assert that it is no problem for them to call the DPRK according to their usual practice as Japan has no diplomatic relations with it.
		All the historical records of Korea prove that the official title of Japan was "Wae" and the name of Japan was not used generally.

	The Historical Development of the Japanese Garden
		During this period, Japanese merchants travelled to China frequently, importing many facets of Chinese culture and appreciating the rugged coastline of their own country, inspiring early garden makers to edge the lakes in the gardens of the aristocracy with rocks, pebbles and sand.
		This allowed for a uniquely Japanese interpretation to be imposed on imported Chinese ideas and perhaps added to a sense of melancholic lassitude, which was permeating Japanese nobility at this time.
		Together with the Chinese principles of Feng shui, the Japanese have their own beliefs concerning natural objects-"the unique or extraordinary in nature is often venerated as go-shintai, the abode of a diety.

	Japanese and 1800s name files - OOTP Developments Forums
		Here are two new OOTP name files: www.nol-baseball.com/Japan1800.zip The zip file contains two folders, one for an improved Japanese name generator and the other for authentic 1800s names.
		For instance, this link suggests that the afnames.dat names are Japanese first names, and this link (which is an exact match of the ANames.dat files) also suggests they are first names not family names.
		I think the Japanese name files are a real improvement since it's not even possible to have a Suzuki, Tanaka, or Yamamoto with the defaults.

	Footprints of Historical Buddha; Japanese word is bussokuseki
		This footprint stone is one of the earliest examples of artistically worked stone surviving in Japan, while the poem-style represents one of the earliest records of the Japanese language.
		As the historical Buddha began to be seen as a superhuman one, the idea developed that he had certain physical attributes different from those of ordinary humans.
		The swastika was originally the symbol used by the Aryan people, a name which, in Sanskrit means "noble." The Aryans were a group of people who settled in Iran and Northern India.

	Buddhist philosophy, Japanese : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online

	The Hidden Relevance of Japanese Historical Influences
		As much as many Japanese would like to deny subconscious adherence to previous ideas, it is readily reflected in their balancing acts of business, work, pleasure, religious obligations and rites, and family life.

		It should be said that the Japanese cannot-and should not-escape their martial tradition for the sake of selective amnesia over a world war.

		The maps are shown both in their cover and unfolded, so that the viewer can get a better sense of the map itself as a historical artifact-an item that people purchased and placed in their pockets and stored on bookshelves.
		Place names that appear impossibly small when looking at the entire map can thus be rendered legible (in Japanese).
		For example, castles once drawn on Japanese city maps in elaborate, colorful detail are, by the late 19th century, signified simply by the castle name or perhaps by a generic symbol of a castle.
