	Nagahama, Japan - Pages: Karafuto Prefecture - glosk
		Karafuto Prefecture (樺太庁, -chō?) was the Japanese government in Karafuto, at times the southern part of the island of Sakhalin or the entire island of Sakhalin.
		Unlike present-day prefectures, the name of the governmental office was not to, dō, fu, or ken but rather chō, so the usage of the word prefecture differs from the modern sense.
		The prefecture of Karafuto incorporated several smaller islands, including Kaihyo Island, Hinode Bana Rock in Aniwa Gulf, Totomi-Shiri or Kaiba Island, and Kiken Island.

		The impetus for the prefecturization (or gaichiization) of Taiwan, Karafuto, and Korea was partly ideological and partly rational.
		Both Karafuto and the Chishima are viewed as having been part of Japan's interior in the 1952 Civil Ordinance No. 438, concerning the disposition of nationality and family register matters regarding Koreans, Taiwanese, and others, in conjunction with the effectuation of the [1951] Treaty of Peace [with Japan] from 28 April 1952.
