	Prefectures of Japan
		Japan is divided into 47 local jurisdictions: one metropolitan district (都; To), Tokyo; one circuit (道;; Dō), Hokkaido; two urban prefectures (府; Fu), Osaka and Kyoto); and 43 rural prefectures (県; Ken).
		When the prefectural system was created in the early Meiji era, the township-ruled zones became ken, while the bugyō-ruled zones became fu: later, the government designated Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto as fu, and relegated the other fu to the status of ken.
		The only to in Japan is Tokyo, which was created by merging the city of Tokyo with the prefecture of Tokyo in 1943.

		We are reminded that the rise of Japanese nationalism and the consolidation of Japanese national identity in the 19th and early 20th centuries had much to do with Japan’s uneasy and at times violent encounters with the Russians during those periods [12].

		Japan is divided into 47 local jurisdictions: one metropolitan district (To), Tokyo; one circuit (Dō), Hokkaido; two urban prefectures (•{; Fu), Osaka and Kyoto); and 43 rural prefectures (Ken).
		When Hokkaido was incorporated, transportation on the island was still very underdeveloped, so the prefecture was split into several "sub-prefectures" (x’¡ shichō) that could fulfill administrative duties of the prefectural government.
		The Japanese government still translates Tokyo-to as "Tokyo Metropolis" in almost all cases, and the government is officialy called the "Tokyo Metropolitan Government." However, some people still call Tokyo-to "Tokyo Prefecture" in English.

		Today, Hokkaido is the least populated of the Japanese islands.
		In 1943, Tokyo City was abolished, Tokyo-fu became Tokyo-to, and Tokyo's wards became the 23 special wards, local authorities falling directly under the prefecture in hierarchy, each with their own elected assemblies (kugikai) and mayors (kucho).
		The implicit reason for this reorganization was to consolidate the administration of the area around the capital by eliminating the extra level of authority in Tokyo, although the postwar growth of Tokyo has caused its urban area to spill over into several other prefectures.

	3/1/96: Group Letter to Secretary O'Leary
		In the wake of this accident, the governors of the three Japanese prefectures containing 60 percent of Japan s nuclear power plants have declared their opposition to any consideration of use of plutonium-uranium MOX fuel in light-water reactors in their prefectures.
		Nonetheless, Japanese spent fuel continues to be reprocessed in France and Great Britain, resulting in the separation of many tons of plutonium for which there is no foreseeable use in Japan.
		."1 The Japanese Atomic Energy Commission stated in its 1994 report that "it is necessary to go about nuclear fuel recycling on the basis of the principle of not having plutonium beyond the amount required to implement the program, i.e., the principle of no surplus plutonium.

		Japan is divided into four kinds of prefectures, to (the special municipal area of Tokyo), doh (the northernmost island of Hokkaido, a special region of its own), fu (the areas around Osaka and Kyoto) and ken (normal prefectures).
		There are 47 of these prefectures in all, established in the national remapping that took place after the Meiji Restoration of 1868, when reformers reorganized the map of Japan to keep old loyalties and politics from getting in the way of modernization.
		Japanese prefectures are divided into smaller sections called cities (shi), which contain smaller areas called machi (translated to English as "towns" although towns being a subset of cities is a little odd).

		The Pleiades, Subaru in historical Japanese skylore, are one of the most noticeable clusters in the sky.
		Through the centuries, lore was adapted to local Japanese prefectures and towns based upon seasonal needs (when to plant, when to go fishing, etc.), local religious customs, and individual differences in the perception of what the stars look like.
		In some coastal areas, Japanese fishermen saw a kind of fish net made of stones and bamboo (Sumaru), and in a similar way, used rising and setting of the bright "net" to determine when to cast their own nets into the sea.

		The present paper examines how the political system that heavily depends on infusion of political funds is affected as Japanese and Korean economies go through economic liberalization and the consequent decline in rent seeking opportunities.
		These studies attribute the advantage of some prefectures and municipalities and the disadvantage of others to partisanship in budgetary decision making in the central government.
		In short, all Japanese prefectures and municipalities put about the same amount of political, but usually nonpartisan, pressure on the central government and receive about the same amount of attention and funds from the latter, albeit with some notable exceptions.
