		The common discrepancies in the dates of Japanese sources with those from the mainland are attributed to a possible mistake by the Japanese in implementation of the sexagenary cycle of timekeeping (introduced to Japan in the fourth century AD), due to the phenomenon that most of the differences are in multiples of sixty-years.
		That the Japanese were able to support such ambitious military campaigns (fielding as many as 27,000 men) is evidence that the Yamato government of Japan was a well-established native government resulting from the unification of the various warring factions (as recorded in the Chinese chronicles).
		While the Japanese of those eras may have had knowledge of horseback riding, there is no evidence that they were dependant on it or used it in warfare. The period of the Japanese campaigns in Korea is considered to have been the peak of Korean swordsmanship.

		For those who don’t speak Japanese, wa is a sentence particle that goes on the topic of the sentence, telling someone what is being talking about.
		For English speakers, the translation of the sentence using the particle wa sounds totally strange to the ear, since no one reality would say, "Speaking of Tanaka, he is a student." Yet for the Japanese, wa is commonly used in their sentences of speech.
		A basic problem for students studying Japanese is the repeated usage of the topic in their sentences.

		Washi is the Japanese word for the traditional papers made from the long inner fibres of three autoctonous plants, "wa" meaning Japanese and "shi" meaning paper.
		Traditional Japanese printmaking was woodblock, but washi is also apt for use in wood engraving, linoblock, or letterpress techniques.
		Rembrandt often used Japanese paper for his fine etchings; Whistler, perhaps inspired by Rembrandt's prints from centuries before, was moved by the absorbency and warm coloration of washi and its ability to pick up every detail of his etched plates.

	Particles vs. Patterns -- Ken Butler's "Japanese CyberTutorial 2
		This is a legitimate utterance in Japanese, though it is not a sentence (or "sentence pattern") in terms of English grammar.
		So, when a Japanese hears kare followed by the particle wa, the Japanese knows that kare is going to be the "topic" of the utterance, and that what follows will make a comment, so to speak, about the topic.
		Since the Japanese is a native speaker of Japanese, he or she is probably not consciously aware of supplying the missing parts, since this is the way Japanese speak Japanese.

	Gishi Wajinden -- Title Page and Section 3
		Strangely, however, a number of histories of Japan in English explain that, to the Chinese, Wa meant "dwarf," a stereotype I feel, however, is not supported by skeletal remains unearthed from this period when they are compared with those of neighboring Asian nations.
		The first is that Himiko was enthroned by her people at an apex of political and social crisis, when she was only fourteen or fifteen, to judge from the fact that her reign continued sixty-eight years.
		It seems to me important that this highly shamanic and charismatic girl was enthroned in order to meet a social crisis presumably caused by civil war in a transitional period of revolutionary political, economic, social, and cultural changes at the juncture of the Yayoi and Kofun periods.

	Japan Forum - What is Japanese "WA"?
		IMHO Wa, when used to refer to foreigners, mainly means group dynamics and how to behave in social situations which may become tense, or behavior in such a way that allows for smooth working and interpersonal relations.
		However, because my fiance would be seen as stressing "wa" and disrupting the smooth running of the groups, she has lots and lots of apologies to make if she takes time off, not matter how well earned it may be.
		I think foreigners do eventually understand "wa" but we make the concious choice to ignore all or part of it because we can often times get away with it.
