	Folding screen maps - Japan Cartography.
		While views and maps of the world were encountered and exchanged between the East and West in the second half of the 16th century, the Japanese learned a lot from maps produced in Europe, which is evidenced by the folding screen maps.
		Three folding screens carry gorgeous and dazzling paintings of quite exotic motif, which are believed to have been created by painters who learned skills at an artmaking school offered by Jesuits.
		The 'discovery' of Japan in 1543 was, for Europeans, the solution to the old question of where the east side of the Eurasian continent ended, which had been unsolved since Ptolemaeus' day.

	Interwar Japan
		Japan and Britain, both of whom wanted to keep Russia out of Manchuria, signed the Treaty of Alliance in 1902, which was in effect until in 1921 when the two signed the Four Power Treaty on Insular Possessions, which took effect in 1923.
		Japan's military expansionism and quest for national self- sufficiency eventually led the United States in 1940 to embargo war supplies, abrogate a long-standing commercial treaty, and put greater restrictions on the export of critical commodities.
		Japan countered that it would not use force unless "a country not yet involved in the European war" (that is, the United States) attacked Germany or Italy.

	Morton Halperin, US-Japan Nuclear Dimension
		Widespread revulsion against nuclear weapons in Japan in response to the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has forced the Japanese government to announce the three non-nuclear principles that Japan "will not manufacture or possess nuclear weapons or allow their introduction into" Japan and that Japan will adhere to the NPT and the CTBT.
		In its rhetoric, Japan is in the forefront of the effort to eliminate nuclear weapons.
		In addition, Japan would rely on the promise of the five nuclear weapons states to not threaten to use nuclear weapons against states in the nuclear free zone and to respond if any state made such a threat.

		In the case of Japan there is a dangerous assumption that the decision to build nuclear weapons will require the overturning of public opinion, which is generally considered to be by majority opposed to nuclear weapons.

	Issues & Views:Japan for the Japanese
		Japan faces economic catastrophe, the argument goes, if it does not import at least 17 million new immigrants by 2050, therefore, the nation must drop its aversion to foreigners, in order to "restore demographic equilibrium." Cultural equilibrium, however, matters nothing to the newspaper correctly tagged as the Mother of Multiculturalism.
		Japan, which for generations considered itself the safest place on earth, is in the middle of a crime wave.
		Nor is Japan entirely free of the let's-all-hold hands sentimentality of Western liberals.

		Three Views on the Rapture assumes a premillennial eschatology and contrasts the three primary rapture views.
		I found myself sympathizing with whatever view I was reading, and agree with the general consensus that the rapture view is an inference from Scripture that does not necessarily have a set of proof texts to describe.
		The temptation with three points of view of the rapture is to be complacent (there's no need to worry, we'll be safe), or scared (because we don't have the facts).

		Japan's corporations are too burdened with debt, its banks too burdened with bad loans that have never been acknowledged.

	Japan's Nuclear Program
		Japan is also energy-scarce, depending on foreign countries for about 80 percent of its energy resources.
		These conditions are completely different from those of Europe or the U.S.; therefore, the government of Japan concludes that it is rational to continue making the fullest possible use of nuclear power generation as one of the mainstays of the nation's energy supply.
		Japan's electric power companies are prepared to meet this demand in the 21st century, and in the process, ensure that nuclear energy be used solely for peaceful purposes, and under the safest possible conditions.

		In addition, ending the zero-interest-rate policy would cause the yen to rise against the dollar (as more Japanese investment money stays at home rather than flowing to countries where interest rates are higher), and the stronger yen would slow down exports.
