  7. JAPAN LLL JAPAN IS A LARGE ARCHIPELAGO COMPRISING A CHAIN OF ISLANDS . IT IS SITVATED IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND TO THE EAST OF CHINA .JAPAN IS MADE UP OF OVER 3500 IS IANDS COVERING AN AREA OF 3.72 LALCH KILLO METRES. OF THESE ONLY FOUR ISLANDS ARE LARGE AND IN ORDER OF THIR SIZE INCLUDE HONSHU, HOKAUDO, KYUSHU AND SHIKOKU.

  8. RIVERS Although Japan is abundantly watered—almost every valley has a stream—no long navigable rivers exist. The larger Japanese rivers vary in size from swollen freshets during the spring thaw or the summer rainy season to small streams during dry weather. Successions of rapids and shallows are so common that only boats of extremely shallow draught can navigate.

  9. PLANTS & ANIMALS The great variety and luxuriance of Japanese plant life is mainly caused by the heat and moisture of Japanese summers, as well as Japan’s proximity to the Eurasian mainland. More than 17,000 species of flowering and non-flowering plants are found, and many are widely cultivated. The white and red plum and the cherry bloom early and are particularly admired.

  10. CLIMATE The Japanese islands extend through approximately 17° of latitude, and Japan’s climatic conditions vary widely. Average mean temperatures range from about 5° C (41° F) in Nemuro (Hokkaido) to about 16° C (61° F) on Okinawa. Short summers and severe long winters characterize Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshu. The severity of the winters is caused in great part by the north-western winds blowing from Siberia and the cold Okhotsk (or Oyashio) Current, which flows south into the Sea of Japan. .

  11. POPULATION The modern Japanese are essentially a Mongoloid race and are similar in appearance to the Chinese and Koreans; the Japanese, however, are slightly smaller in stature. The Ainu, a Caucasian people now resident principally on Hokkaido, are the only significant non-Japanese native group, but they are now almost entirely intermarried with the Japanese. Japan is an industrialized urban society, and approximately 79 per cent of the population lives in metropolitan areas.

  12. AGRICULTUREL Planting Rice in Japan A group of Japanese women plant rice seedlings by hand. Rice is one of the most important crops in Japan and is the staple diet of the country

  13. EDUCATION Calligraphy Student A Japanese schoolchild in Tokyo practises calligraphy. The Japanese written language employs Chinese characters plus two native syllabic scripts. Japanese use all forms of modern writing instruments, but the traditional brush is the basis for calligraphy instruction. Good handwriting is revered in Japan as a key to the writer's wholecharacter.

  14. CULTURE Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Meiji Shrine attracts tourists and worshippers from all parts of Japan. The shrine was built as a memorial to Emperor Meiji, who ruled Japan from 1867 to 1912, and his consort, Empress Shoken. Located just west of central Tokyo, the shrine is surrounded by a largegarden

  15. ECONOMY Business District in Tokyo the capital and largest city of Japan, is the headquarters for many of the country’s largest enterprises and financial institutions. Since the late 1960s many high-rise office blocks have been built in Tokyo’s Nishi Shinjuku district.

  16. LAND &RESOURCES Mount Fuji, Japan This dormant volcano is Japan’s highest mountain, as well as its most famous national symbol. The 3,776-m (12,387-ft) high peak is on southern Honshu, near Tokyo, and is a popular site for tourism and pilgrimages. Many shrines and temples are located on Mount Fuji’s slopes, and it is a frequent subject in Japanese art and literature.

  17. TOKYO Tokyo, the financial and commercial centre of the country, has a population of 7,919,771 (2000). Other leading cities,

  18. Japanese language The Japanese language is the official language of Japan. Its precise family descent is unclear, though it may be one of the Altaic languages. Japanese is written with three different scripts: modified Chinese characters and two syllabic scripts, hiragana and katakana, used respectively for phonetic rendering of ordinary Japanese words and for emphasis and foreign words.

  19. TRANSPORT The major railways were nationalized in 1907; they were reorganized and transferred to the private sector in 1987. Railway track in 1994 totalled about 27,150 km (16,870 mi), of which about 55 per cent was electrified
