	Yamato Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yamato Damashi or the Spirit of Yamato is a phrase used colloquially in a nostalgic way by conservative Japanese to refer to a mysterious Golden Age of Japanese culture when life was simple and people were honest and worked hard.
		The Kofun period of Japanese history and culture is also sometimes called the Yamato Period by western scholars, since this local chieftainship eventually rose up to become the Imperial Dynasty at the end of the Kofun period.
		The province of Yamato was the namesake of World War II battleship Yamato.

		The seas which surround Japan are the Pacific Ocean on the east, the Sea of Okhotsk on the North, the Sea of Japan on the west, and the China Sea on the south.

		Yamato was most closely associated with the southeastern kingdom of Paekche, whence came the "seven-pronged sword."

	History of Japan - Part 1
		Nara in Yamato became the fixed capital in 710; in 794 Kyoto was made the imperial residence and, with few interruptions, remained the capital until 1868.

Beginning in 1919 the government was assailed with increasing demands for universal male suffrage, an issue that occasioned rioting in the cities.
