	Japanese Economic HIstory 1930's

		The situation was all the more intolerable as the Japanese saw that the KMT forces were being supplied from the south along the Burma road and French Indo-china.
		In the bloody border clashes with the Red Army around Nomonhan in 1939 the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters were alarmed by the clear superiority or Russian heavy artillery, aircraft and firepower or Soviet tanks.

	Imagining Japan: INTRODUCTION
		The Japanese or Western "discourse about the Japanese" of recent years has taken place within a relatively benign international atmosphere in which Japan is considered an advanced industrial society and accepted as such in a variety of international organizations.
		The very extent to which the Japanese economy was growing in both the Kamakura and its successor Ashikaga shogunates contributed to the increasing centrifugal tendencies, as outlying feudal lords became strong enough to assert their independent power, and the jerry-rigged combination of primary and secondary state formations proved incapable of maintaining centralized control.
		Japanese fascism, far from being an inevitable outcome of an earlier period that, after all, showed many signs of liberalization and opening up, required severe outside pressures to bring it about, as I have suggested above in mentioning the world depression beginning in the late 1920s and the rise of fascism in the West.

		The difference between the two saw techniques (pull vs. push) is rooted in the thinness of the blade metal which produces a narrower kerf (width of cut), thus the saw requires less effort to use.
		While master Japanese carpenters sharpen their own blades, I find that replaceable blades work best for me. If you choose to use a traditional Japanese saw, then I recommend you only use it to cut clean, nail-free material so as to avoid damaging the teeth.
		The idea behind the handle design is to permit the saw to deliver the same fine cut as a traditional Japanese saw but at the same time provide a comfortable Western-style pistol grip design (10-2312, 14 pt.).
