	The Avalon Project : Japanese Note to the United States December 7, 1941
		The Government of the United States undertakes not to resort to measures and actions prejudicial to the endeavours for the restoration of general peace between Japan and China.
		The Japanese Government, in its desire for an early conclusion of the negotiation, proposed simultaneous ly with the conclusion of the Japanese-American negotiation, agreements to be signed with Great Britain and other interested countries.
		The Japanese Government regrets to have to notify hereby the American Government that in view of the attitude of the American Government it cannot but consider that it is impossible to reach an agreement through further negotiations.

	“We the Japanese People” – A Reflection on Public Opinion
		Older Japanese, though mostly born after the war, cannot completely dissociate the national flag with the image of militarist Japan, and they are struck by – even envious of – the carefree attitude with which the young wave the national flag at international sporting events.
		Japanese students of a society deeply uncomfortable with the militarist past are not properly given modern history lessons, but their sentiments carry society’s pacifistic impulse.
		Japanese society is rapidly ageing, and the population is shrinking.

	Scott Teresi - Essay on the Japanese Government's Underlying Problems
		If Japanese politicians have shied away from trying to sort out the country's problems, that may be partly because it is so difficult to identify where one problem ends and the next beings.
		The Japanese themselves consider wa, harmony, to be its foundation, and though the facts may not support this belief, conflict is undoubtedly frowned upon and consensus favoured.
		The Japanese are less ethnically homogeneous than they would like to believe, but the absence of people who are obviously of foreign descent is a striking feature of even Tokyo, let alone places beyond the capital.

	The Myth of Japanese Industrial Policy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Japanese government, through such agencies as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and the Ministry of Finance, has played a powerful role in the economy, the argument goes, turning a war-battered Japan into an economic juggernaut in 25 years.
		During the 1950s and 1960s, when the Japanese government used credit rationing to allocate capital to target industries, Japan was rebuilding its industrial infrastructure which had been battered during the war.
		Government policy toward the tobacco industry, which is simultaneously taxed, restricted, and subsidized, is another indication of the government's ability to implement a consistent industrial policy.

		This branch of government consists of several levels of courts, with the Supreme court as the final judicial review/authority of all legislative acts.

	TEXT OF THE DOCUMENT HANDED BY SECRETARY OF STATE HULL TO THE JAPANESE AMBASSADOR
		It was therefore a source of disappointment to the Government of the United States that the proposals of the Japanese Government presented by the Japanese Ambassador on September 6, 1941, which the Japanese Government apparently intended should constitute a concrete basis for discussions, appeared to disclose divergence in the concepts of the two Governments.
		In the Japanese Government's proposals of September 6 and in subsequent communications from the Japanese Government the commitments contained in that formula were restricted to the countries of the Southwest Pacific area (not the Pacific area as a whole).
		This Government believes that renewed consideration of these fundamental principles may be helpful in our effort to seek a meeting of minds in regard to the essential questions on which we seek agreement and thus lay a firm foundation for a meeting between the responsible heads of the two Governments.

		Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda confirmed that Koizumi had instructed the government not to withdraw the troops and said he had been ordered to investigate the facts of the case and to consider measures to free the hostage.
		The video was being shown repeatedly by NHK and was certain to trigger an uproar in Japan and pose a new test to the government, which has dispatched 500 troops to southern Iraq on a humanitarian mission in support of U.S.-led reconstruction efforts despite strong opposition in public opinion.
		"We give the Japanese government 48 hours to withdraw its troops from Iraq, otherwise his fate will be the same of that his predecessors, Berg and Bigley and other infidels," the man said, referring to the beheadings of British engineer Kenneth Bigley and U.S. businessman Nicholas Berg.

	JAPANESE ATTACK ON CHINA 1937
		The reply from Germany was that the Reich Government had taken note with due interest of Secretary Hull's statement; that the Reich Government's "basic principle is, as is generally known, directed toward the regulation of international relations by pacific agreement and hence coincides with the ideas developed by the Secretary of State".
		The Japanese Government replied that it expressed concurrence with the principles contained in the statement by Secretary Hull; that it believed that the objectives of those principles would only be attained, in their application to the Far Eastern situation, by a full recognition and practical consideration of the actual particular circumstances of that region.
		This Government immediately sent a note to the Japanese Government stating that the United States vessels involved were on the Yangtze River "by uncontested and incontestable right", that they were flying the American flag, and that they were engaged in legitimate and appropriate business.

	Memorandum Regarding a Conversation Between the Secretary Of State and the Japanese Ambassador (Nomura), 29 September ...
		The Ambassador said with an apparent touch of embarrassment that he was very well aware of the attitude of this Government and had made this Government's position very clear to his own Government, and that notwithstanding this his Government had instructed him to press for an answer on the Japanese Government's proposal.
		The Japanese Government seeks such adjustment not solely for the sake of the two countries but also for the purpose of paving the way for a general peaceful settlement throughout the world.
		This fact alone should be a sufficient testimony to the sincerity of the Japanese Government in its desire for an adjustment of Japanese-American relations and for the preservation of peace in the Pacific.

		The rate was further dragged down because both the government and the corporate sector failed to adapt the institutions that had contributed to the economy's past success to a new environment characterized by globalization, aging population, and the transition to a post-industrial society.
		Japanese corporations are undergoing a restructuring process that involves not only downsizing but also drastically changing their traditional business practices.
		In the past, the government's employment policy was designed to maintain workers at their present jobs, but the emphasis has shifted to promoting the transfer of human resources to new growth areas.

	Total Quality Japanese: The Romaji Conundrum
		Unfortunately, by forcing non-native speakers of Japanese with no intentions of learning the language to abide by a system intended for those who have some command of Japanese, the government gave the impression of intolerant language management which would have dire consequences later on.
		This was in spite of the fact that the Japanese language textbooks of American linguist, Eleanor Jorden, which were used throughout the 1960's in courses taught to US diplomats, relied on a modified version of the Kunrei system.
		Manufacturers of Japanese word processors, needing certain extra features to popularize the use of their products, decided to make it possible even for the most inept consumers to be able to write in Japanese.

		If your partner is a Japanese citizen, then the facts of a marriage or divorce in Japan are also recorded on their Family Registration (koseki).
		According to Japanese law, this is to avoid confusion as to the identification of a child's father if a birth occurs close in time to the end of the marriage.

		The total amount and terms of government aid may be less important than that such aid is given at all, as it may signal Japan's financial system that optoelectronics is a particularly promising area worthy of support.
		The Japanese banking system, now forced to compete with many other financial institutions both at home and abroad and burdened with a staggering overhang of loans gone bad, is no longer in a position to dictate the future of the optoelectronics industry.
		Japanese government-sponsored consortia were once viewed as crucial instruments of government policy, breaking down barriers to the inter-firm transfer of information created by Japanese permanent employment practices, even while internalizing the benefits of company-conducted basic research.

		In order to provide fresh momentum to the economic recovery and to promote the necessary reforms in the nation's socioeconomic structure, the government formulated the "Policy Measures for Economic Rebirth" on November 11th in 1999 and is now focusing its energies on implementing these measures forward.
		The Japanese government needed to stimulate those areas of the Japanese economy that have the highest "value added" or the greatest percentage of relatively advanced technology as inputs and outputs.
		But no less important than doing a better job of targeting fiscal stimulus, the Japanese government needs to improve the lives of the Japanese citizens, to restore their confidence in the future, and by this approach to encourage more consumer spending and portfolio investments in Japanese equities.

	Japanese Government Information: New Rules for Access
		The original government bill would have required that all disclosure-related litigation be filed in Tokyo District Court, potentially imposing a significant burden on requesters residing far from Tokyo.
		Most Japanese agencies have not set aside any particular part of their budgets to fund information disclosure, and there are no estimates of the costs that the new system will incur.
		Because the government does not ordinarily collect information regarding the types of users and the purposes behind requests, in the future it may be very difficult to determine accurately whether or not commercial requests are at a sufficient volume that they such requesters should bear a greater portion of the costs of disclosure.
