🇯🇵 Oda Nobunaga is widely credited with using the world's first effective, large-scale continuous volley fire at the Battle of Nagashino in 1575. By employing rotating ranks of 3,000 arquebusiers behind wooden stockades, Nobunaga enabled uninterrupted gunfire, which killed 10,000 Takeda clan cavalry and fundamentally changed Japanese warfare. The... Japanese reversed engineered and improved Portuguese arquebusiers and created and mass-produced Tanegashima matchlock muskets. It was more reliable, faster to reload, and was able to fire in the rain. By the late 16th century, the Japanese produced more muskets than any European country. Some estimates say 5 to 1. As the Japanese expelled the Catholics, Spain considered invading Japan from the Phillipines and force convert Japan to Christianity. However, the Spanish realized any invasion force would have been wiped out by samurai armed with more advanced Tanegashima muskets. Also, the Dutch offered to build ships for the Japanese and those ships were going to be reverse engineered to fight a possible Spanish Armada.show more

Masahiro Shinoda explains why it was impossible for the Jesuits to impose their religion in Japan: "Interviewer: Is 'Silence' (1971) critical of the very fact of the Catholics coming to Japan and imposing an alien culture on the Japanese? Shinoda: Japan is an island surrounded by the sea. Many cultures from outside have come here. Japan could not refuse them. The sea current itself conveyed these foreigners to Japan’s southern shores. Japan’s culture thus consists of many, many foreign cultures in a mixture. Sometimes it caused us to lose our essential Japanese culture. I’m not even sure sometimes what Japanese culture is. In the sixteenth century Christianity and the gun were introduced into Japan. The introduction of the gun was a traumatic event and had a much deeper impact than did Christianity. The Japanese people were perplexed, but they are a realistic people and they made their choices pragmatically, giving up the metaphysical. We are empiricists, materialists. Interviewer: If I had made that movie, I would have questioned the right of the Jesuit priests to come to Japan and impose their ideas on the Japanese. Shinoda: No, it was impossible for the Jesuits to impose their religion on the Japanese because of the animism believed in by this insular, island people. It was not to be destroyed by so severe a religion as Christianity. Christianity destroyed the Roman gods, but the Japanese gods were protected by the softness of Buddhism. Buddhism is so soft that it was absorbed into the Japanese culture of the time. The Japanese people believed that Buddhism could easily marry with Shinto, and thus Japanese culture is a mixed breed of both religions. Then Christianity came, but by this time the native animism of Shinto and Buddhism were already coexisting in harmony. I think that there was no room for an additional religion. All Eastern religions are in accordance with a belief in the oneness of man and nature, whereas Christianity deals with the relationship between one man and another. When movies, or film culture, were introduced into Japan they were already based on modern Western thought. But Japanese culture influenced the kind of films that would be made here, despite the Western origins of the cinema. I must categorize the films of the world into three distinct types. European films are based upon human psychology, American films upon action and the struggles of human beings, and Japanese films upon circumstance."

EVERYTHING JAPANESE IS REALLY CHINESE. Seriously? Well, yes. I mean, this title is clearly a generalization, so what it means is that the main cultural items that are widely assumed across the world to be Japanese actually come from China. . 1. Ramen Raman is a Chinese noodle dish, not Japanese. It was brought to Japan by Chinese travellers in the late 1800s. The original Japanese name for it was “shina soba” meaning Chinese noodles. . 2. Japanese writing The Japanese writing system known as Kanji has a name formed of two elements. Kanji literally means Han Writing. Han is the biggest ethnic group in China. . 3. The Kimono This was an adaptation of the type of draped silk clothing from China known as Hanfu. After the start of the Heian period in Japan in 794 AD, it became popular in Japan and started to acquire unique Japanese elements. . 4. Blossom trees Japan’s famous cherry blossoms actually come a tree indigenous not to Japan, but to the Himalayas, which border southwest China—in fact a long way from Japan. The practice of celebrating the annual blossoming of beautiful trees such as the cherry blossom and the plum blossom spread from southwest China to Korea and Japan, taking several centuries to make that journey. . 5. Sushi Sushi is fish with vinegared rice. It is vinegared to give it a pickled taste which is a clue towards its origins: a Chinese pickled dish in which salted fish was wrapped in fermented rice. Even today in Japan, a sushi kitchen is called a tsuke-ba, which means ‘pickling place’. . 6. The Japanese language Japan has its own language, sure – but statisticians say that at least 60 per cent of Japanese vocabulary comes from Chinese origins. . 7. Being ruled by an Emperor In the early 7th century, the Japanese adopted the title of Emperor from China for their own leaders. They used the same Chinese characters, and the same concept that the leader, by definition, was the Son of Heaven. This new rank was then retroactively applied to all past Japanese rulers, who all become emperors and sons of heaven. . 8. Bonsai. The practice of growing miniature trees and creating tiny landscapes developed in China, more than 1,500 years ago. It was known as penjing. The technique was introduced to Japan in the 7th century. . 9. Sashimi It was the Chinese rather than the Japanese who realized more than 1800 years ago that the flesh of certain fish was delicious eaten raw – no cooking necessary. Food historian Jacqueline Newman says that raw fish consumption began in southern China before 200 AD. It came to Japan about 11 hundred years later. . 10. The tea ceremony The tea ceremony originated in China during the Tang Dynasty, which is 600 to 900 AD, as a meditative health practice, before evolving into artistic ritual by the time of the Song Dynasty, which started in 960 AD. It was then taken to Japan by monks, like many Chinese cultural practices. . 11. The board game called GO In western culture, Go is a game associated with Japan. In reality, it is the world’s oldest known board game, originating in China about 4,000 years ago, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. The game was taken from China to Japan in 500 AD, which is “comparatively recently” in Chinese terms. . 12. Green tea Green tea, or matcha, comes from China and has been consumed for probably 4,000 years. It was brought to Japan by monks during the 8th and 9th centuries—very recently by Chinese standards! Two holy men, Saichō and Kukai, are credited with bringing it over the waters to Japan. . 13. Architecture The Japanese admired China’s extraordinarily long-lasting structures made of interlocking wooden elements and there was a lot of temple-building based on Chinese innovations in sixth century Japan. The Japanese capital, Nara, copied the checkerboard street layout of the Chinese capital, Chang’an. But, it must be said, the Japanese afterwards developed many of their own unique architectural elements. . 14. The Asian super-sword It was actually Tang dynasty scientists in China who revolutionized sword-making in the 7th century with a blade called the baogangfa – they fused high carbon steel (which enable sharpness) with low-carbon iron (which provided strength). The result was a blade that could slice through samurai armor. Japanese envoys brought Chinese swords back to Japan in the 700s. To give them due credit, the Japanese improved both the recipe and the design, to eventually come up with the curved katana sword. . 15. Cultural figures One of the most famous pop culture items from Japan is Dragonball. The creator of Dragonball fully admitted that his story was simply a retelling of the Chinese classic Journey to the West. Pokemon, another Japanese modern classic, has many ancient Chinese elements, too – research the nine-tailed fox for example. . 16. Zen An Indian monk named Bodhidharma came to China around 520 AD. His teachings became combined with Chinese philosophies such as Daoism. That led to the development of a practice called Chan, which is how the word Zen was originally pronounced. Records indicate that Chinese Chan Buddhism reached Japan in the 7th century but was not firmly established in that country until the 12th century. . CONCLUSIONS? Okay, there are 16 items – things assumed to be Japanese by many people, but which are rooted in Chinese culture. But there are others. So feel free to add more. Or shoot down the ones I have listed, if you prefer. Why do so many Japanese items come from China? Well, for much of history, China was the cool place, the happening place, the creative place, the dominant cultural center of the most highly populated part of the world. So naturally people wanted to visit it. One ancient record show that between AD 603 and AD 839, the Japanese alone sent at least 17 diplomatic missions to the Tang Dynasty royal courts in China. And I am going to add one more item to my list. Do the Japanese people themselves come from China? A short discussion of that somewhat controversial question comes at the end of the video. Read widely. Peace.

Back in the summer of 2023, I drove with my family in a RV to the battle site of Khalkhin-Gol (also known as "Nomonhan") on the border between China and Mongolia proper. I took this video back then 👇 We spent the night right there, on the battle site. Yes, this is our idea of a nice family vacation 😅 It is probably the most important WW2 historical site most people have never heard of: it's where the Soviet Union defeated Japan in 1939, which changed the course of the war. Japan and Nazi Germany may have won WW2 were it not for the battles that happened right here during 135 days. Incredibly, this episode of the war is virtually untaught in the West, which shows how self-centered our version of history is. During WW2 Northeast of China had been invaded and annexed by Japan, transformed into a puppet state called Manchukuo. This place is in the extreme West of this former puppet state (which is now back to being Northeast China), on the border with Mongolia and the former Soviet Union (now the Russian border). At the time, 1939, Japan's basic strategy for the war was "Northward Advance" (Hokushin-ron), i.e. seizing Siberia for its resources as far as Lake Baikal. The USSR obviously begged to differ and Stalin sent General Zhukov, one of his best men (the future Marshal of the Soviet Union) on site to fight the Japanese back. Long story short, the battles that ensued - with 200,000 soldiers on the battlefield - lasted 135 days and were the earliest large-scale 3-dimensional warfare in military history. It ended in a humiliating Japanese defeat which some Japanese historians call "the greatest defeat in the history of the Japanese army", with 54,000 casualties (79% of frontline troops, as mentioned below). The most important consequence of the battles that were fought here is that the Japanese completely shifted their strategy from "Northward Advance" to "Southward Advance", favoring seizing the resources of Southeast Asia instead of those of Siberia. Masanobu Tsuji, the Japanese colonel most instrumental in these battles became "the most determined single protagonist in favor of war with the United States" and one of the strongest proponents of the attack on Pearl Harbor inside the Japanese army (according to postwar testimonies), having been traumatized by his experience of fighting the Soviet Union. The US was of course the biggest power the Japanese would have to confront by pursuing the "Southward Advance" strategy since only the US Pacific Fleet stood in the way of seizing the oil-rich Dutch East Indie. In fact the Khalkhin-Gol battles traumatized the Japanese so much that they didn't dare fight the Soviet Union again for the remainder of WW2. Even when their ally Nazi Germany opened the Eastern front the Japanese army adopted a resolution "not to intervene in German Soviet war for the time being", leaving Hitler to fight the Soviet Union on his own, which would ultimately prove to be his demise. So it's no exaggeration to say that had the battles here not been fought or had the Japanese won, WW2 would have most likely turned out dramatically different. Pearl Harbor wouldn't have happened, and Japan would have likely helped Nazi Germany fight the Soviet Union by opening a front to the East. Khalkhin-Gol may in fact have been the most consequential battles of WW2!

🇯🇵 Best Disneyland in the world is Tokyo Disney because Disney doesn't own it. A Japanese company pays Disney royalties for the characters, but the park is operated and controlled by the Japanese. The Japanese are austistically obsessed with perfection, so if a Disney character is of European origin, you best believe the Japanese will keep it as European as possible. Visit La Taverne de Gaston in Tokyo Disney and you'll see what I mean when they try to keep thing as French as possible. Obviously, Japan doesn't have enough Caucasian women to hire as the princesses, but for everything else, it's not woke.

$【Ironclad Evidence】This video recorded in 1997 by Japanese scholar Fuyuko Nishisato, confirmed only a fraction of the horrific crimes against humanity by #Unit731 in China during #WWII. #Japan #Atrocities #militarism The Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army on December 11, 2025, released a 38-minute video of a former member of Unit 731, a notorious Japanese germ-warfare unit during World War II (WWII). In the footage, former Unit 731 member Tsuruo Nishijima detailed how the unit used meteorological data to carry out bacterial dispersal and frostbite experiments. The video was recorded in 1997 by Japanese scholar Fuyuko Nishisato and donated to the exhibition hall in 2019, according to the hall, which was built on the former site of the headquarters of Unit 731 in Harbin, capital city of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. Jin Shicheng, a researcher with the exhibition hall, said that Nishijima joined Unit 731 in October 1938 and served in the unit's meteorological squad. The squad was not a simple observation section but rather an auxiliary force supporting the unit's human experiments in the field by measuring wind direction, wind speed and other conditions to ensure optimal experimental results, according to Jin. Nishijima confirmed in the footage that "the meteorological squad had to be present at every field experiment." He testified to the "rainfall experiments" conducted by Unit 731, which involved aircraft releasing bacterial agents at extremely low altitudes. At a field-testing site in Anda City, Heilongjiang, Unit 731 aircraft descended to about 50 meters above the ground and sprayed bacterial culture liquids onto "maruta" -- human test subjects -- who were tied to wooden stakes. Each experiment involved about 30 people, spaced roughly 5 meters apart. After the experiments, the victims were loaded into sealed trucks and transported back to the unit, where their symptoms and disease progression were recorded over a period of several days. Nishijima also revealed that a Japanese military doctor once died after removing the mask and becoming infected during an experiment, indirectly proving the extreme virulence of the bacterial agents. The video further disclosed details of the meteorological squad's involvement in frostbite experiments. To study wartime needs in frigid regions, the invading Japanese army forced the victims to expose their bodies for five to ten minutes in temperatures ranging from minus 20 to minus 35 degrees Celsius and observed their physical reactions. According to the exhibition hall, Nishijima's video, a piece of oral history from a perpetrator's perspective, further reconstructs the criminal chain of Unit 731 and once again demonstrates that the invading Japanese army's biological warfare crime was systematic and inhumane, and was an undeniable historical truth. Unit 731 was a top-secret biological and chemical warfare research base established in Harbin as the nerve center for Japanese biological warfare in China and Southeast Asia during WWII. At least 3,000 people were used for human experiments by Unit 731, and more than 300,000 people in China were killed by Japan's biological weapons.$

🚨 Japan: 'Billions of Vaccinated Will Die - Those Responsible Must Pay' 🇯🇵 Japan has issued a formal apology to the unvaccinated, admitting that the government bowed to pressure from the international elite to employ “totalitarian” psychological warfare tactics on the public to brainwash citizens during the pandemic. According to Japanese officials, it is time to prepare to say goodbye to vaccinated loved ones, because billions of people will soon be dead as a consequence of a crime worse than the Holocaust, and the world will never be the same again. As the tsunami of deaths among the vaccinated continues to accelerate, and the Japanese people continue rising up against the elite, the truth is starting to emerge and the villains behind the plandemic are left with nowhere left to hide.

🇯🇵 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited over 120 high school students from Africa to participate in exchanges with Japanese youth as part of a project to cultivate the next generation of "Japanophiles" who understand Japanese society. The "Africa Youth Program," which promotes mutual understanding between Japanese and African youth, is one of the youth exchange programs announced by the government at the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) held last August, and was held for the first time this year.

JAPANESE CONFUSED THAT U.S. SAYS CHINA WAS THEIR 'ALLY' IN WW2 “This man is your friend” – that’s a message to the American public from their government, in these [WW2] posters about the Chinese and about Russians. I’ve dug them up, and some others, because I was sorry to hear that some people in Japan were confused to hear that China and the US were allies in world war 2. Here’s a headline about it – and another one. And a few others. Let me solve the confusion of our Japanese friends. The US says China was an ally in World War 2 because it was an ally in World War 2. It was an ally against you. You Japanese people invaded China and killed a lot of people. China fought back, giving up more than 20 million lives in the fight. Russia’s sacrifice was even larger. UK and US were also good allies on the same side, losing about 500,000 lives each. . GOOD MATERIAL The Americans produced some good material to help people in the west understand that China and Russia were their most important allies in this battle. [“China: First to fight’] “Help China, China is helping us” – the picture was created in 1938, but was turned into a poster about three years later. “This man is your friend” was published in 1942 by the US Office of Facts and Figures. “He fights for Freedom,” it says. And the British made a poster to make it clear where the problem came from. “Smash Japanese Aggression” their poster said. So I hope that helps our friends in Japan to stop being confused. Peace. . .

🇬🇷✝️🇦🇲 Rare footage showing the Great Fire of Smyrna in 1922. Few people have ever heard about this incredible act of courage. In September 1922, while smoke rose from the burning city of Smyrna and #Greek and #Armenian #Christians were brutally killed on the quay, the brave crew of the Japanese cargo ship Tokei Maru chose humanity and saved hundreds of lives. On 9 September 1922, Turkish forces entered Smyrna. Massacre, rape, and deportation of Greek and Armenian civilians followed. Four days later, a fire broke out in the Armenian quarter and destroyed much of Smyrna. The scenes on the waterfront were horrible. There was the most awful scream one could ever imagine. Many did undoubtedly jump into the sea, from sheer panic. Mothers with their babies, the fire going on over their heads, and many of the bundles of clothes also on fire, and the people all screaming. About twenty Allied warships and cargo vessels sat at anchor. Among them was the Japanese freighter Tokei Maru. Anna Harlowe Birge, wife of Professor Birge of the International College at Smyrna, witnessed the helpless refugees crowding each other off the wharves as Smyrna began to burn. Men and women could be seen swimming in the harbor in the hope of rescue; many drowned. She wrote: "In the harbor, at that time, was a Japanese freighter, which had just arrived loaded to the decks with a very valuable cargo of silks, laces, and china representing many thousands of dollars. The Japanese captain, when he realized the situation, did not hesitate. The whole cargo went overboard into the dirty waters of the harbor, and the freighter was loaded with several hundred refugees, who were taken to Piraeus and landed in safety on Greek shores." During the same Smyrna catastrophe, she helped about forty Armenian students. She wrote her name after theirs and presented them as her sons. A Turkish military official, struck by the boldness of the act, allowed her and the boys to board a destroyer in the harbor. The Japanese ship was not left in peace. According to the Greek newspaper Empros, after the captain sent out the ship’s small boats, Kemalist soldiers surrounded them and threatened to sink them unless the refugees were given up. The captain refused. He is reported to have said that if they touched the people under his protection, he would treat it as an insult to the Japanese flag and a threat to Japan. The soldiers then consulted a superior and let the boats go. U.S. Consul George Horton, writing on 18 September 1922, confirmed the rescue itself: a Japanese ship took refugees; cargo was said to have been thrown overboard; and passengers praised the kindness of the Japanese officers and men. Contemporary Greek reports put one sailing about 825 people. Japanese records confirm that Tokei Maru was in the eastern Mediterranean in September 1922. The humanitarian actions of the Japanese ship were also recorded at the time by many Armenian and Greek survivors of the Smyrna catastrophe. Never forget Smyrna. For 3,000 years, Smyrna had been a vibrant Greek Christian jewel of Asia Minor. That September, families were trapped between the burning city and the sea. Behind them, their ancient quarters were turning to ash. Ahead of them was only water.

Streets of Tokyo, 1913-1915. (Color, Speed, Sound adjusted) The footage you see before you was taken just after the death of Emperor Meiji in 1912. He was responsible for overseeing the Meiji Era (1868-1912) in which Japan transformed from an isolationist, feudal state to an industrialized world power. Interestingly enough, the catalyst for such drastic change can be attributed to an American by the name of Matthew Perry, who was a commodore of the U.S. Navy. In 1853, Perry visited Japan for the first time, refusing demands to leave immediately. He fired his cannons and threatened to destroy the Japanese if they dared to attack his ships. Japan was forced to sign a treaty allowing unrestricted trade with the U.S. and soon had to sign treaties with European powers as well. Japan quickly realized that if they did not modernize and adopt western ideals, they would end up like China. During the first Opium War (1839-1842), China went to war with Great Britain because they wanted to end the practice of British merchants selling opium to Chinese merchants. Great Britain was able to easily defeat the Chinese due to superior military technology. China was forced to grant trade concessions and favorable tariffs to the British who continued to ship opium grown in colonial India to Canton. By 1890, it is estimated that 15 million Chinese people were addicted to opium. China was also forced to open up their ports and cede Hong Kong to the British. During the Meiji Era, the samurai lost their status and power. Japan knew that if they wanted to effectively fight against the western powers, they needed to implement conscription and build a modern army that used rifles and cannons. They began to industrialize and create factories to produce modern weaponry. In 1902, Japan created an alliance with the British, which was a first between a European and Asian country. The purpose was to counter Russia's expansion into East Asia, which neither party wanted. In 1905, Japan shocked the world when they defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War.

12 MORE ICONS OF JAPANESE CULTURE WHICH HAVE CHINESE ORIGINS 12. Karate NOT Japanese in origin, but Chinese. This is one amazing story. In the 1300s, experts in Chinese martial arts travelled to an island kingdom called Ryukyu and shared their skills. The Japanese samurai invaded the island in 1609 to create a puppet state—and banned the carrying of weapons. The people of Ryukyu refined their Chinese martial arts skills to create a weapons-free way of combat with which to defend themselves. They called it kara-te 唐手, which translates to "Chinese hand". This was later changed to “empty hand”. . QUICK NOTE: This is part two of a series. In the widely viewed first section last week, we featured ramen, bonsai, green tea, Zen Buddhism, the Kimono and so on. . 11. The Parasol What could be more Japanese than the parasol, as used in countless images of women in kimonos? While umbrellas evolved separately in multiple places around the world, the delicate, collapsible oil-paper parasol to shield you from the sun was created in China and spread to Japan. . 10. Mochi and Manju Mochi is a type of chewy cake made of pounded rice which is synonymous with Japan. But it was probably first imported from China in 300 BC, historians say. In Japan, the written character for 'mochi' is the Chinese word for 'cake', and Hong Kong still has an item called "loh máih chìh". Then there’s the Japanese manju, a stuffed bun. A Japanese monk named Enni visited China and got the recipe for steamed buns. On his return to Japan in 1241, he went to see a teahouse owner who had been generous to monks, who had to beg for food. He gave the recipe to the teahouse boss and wrote a sign saying “Place to eat Manju”—a sign now preserved in a Japanese museum. . 9. The Geisha Geisha is the Japanese name for ornately dressed women who are officially entertainers, but many see the term has having sexual overtones. The modern tradition echoes the female entertainers tradition of the Heian-kyo period beginning in AD 794, which in turn appears to have been influenced by the Geji, women in China who provided musical entertainment and other sorts of entertainment to men from a long time ago, all the way back in 260 BC. . 8. Koi Koi, the ornamental fish used in garden ponds, is actually a type of carp that has been raised in fish-farms for centuries. These aquaculture centers existed in Japan since the 19th century and in China since the fourth century BC. But it must be said, while both countries celebrate these beautiful fish, the breeding techniques developed to create varieties of multicolored koi are very much a Japanese skill. . 7. The Shamisen The Geisha women, mentioned earlier, often played the shamisen, a three-stringed instrument structured like a banjo. It originated in China as the sanxian, and likely travelled to Japan via Korea and or the Ryuku islands in the 1560s. . 6. Noh theatre Some readers asked whether Kabuki theatre had Japanese roots. The answer is no. But Japan’s other theatre tradition, called Noh, stems from a Chinese performing art called sangaku which included music, acrobatics and illusions. It crossed the waters to Japan in the eighth century. . 5. Miso and Soy Miso is a savory Japanese seasoning made from fermented soy beans, often used as the basis of miso soup. While savory condiments were made in Japan since prehistoric times, the use of fermented soy foods developed in China in the third century BC. This processed food was introduced to Japan, along with Zen Buddhism, in the sixth century AD. A closely related item is soy sauce. Today, because of the success of the Japanese Kikkoman brand, many westerners think soy sauce is Japanese. The taste is fine, but gourmands often note that the original soy sauce from China is simultaneously more savory and slightly sweeter. Try them both. . 4. Dragons Japan is obsessed with dragons – military squadrons call themselves dragons, as do Yakuza groups, and there are dragon parades and entire mythologies about the mysterious ancient beasts. But the words used in Japanese reveal the concept's Chinese origins. The oldest reference to a dragon anywhere in the world is an image from China that is seven millennia old – yep, that’s not a misprint – it’s seventy centuries old. . 3. Gyoza Many westerners love gyoza, which they think of as Japanese fried dumplings. But food historians know they are simply the Japanese version of the age-old Chinese dumpling known as Jiaozi. . 2. Bowing For millennia, the Chinese used bowing as a common way to show respect, both in the temple to the ancestors, and in society to high-ranking people. It was adopted in Japan in the 7th century to become part of samurai etiquette. Gradually, it spread throughout Japanese society, where it became a common greeting. . And now we come to number one: The name Japan. The name Japan is actually from China. From the Chinese point of view, the islands to the east are the place from where the sun appears every morning. So they called it “sun origin”. The pair of characters was pronounced something like this: jrr-bnn. With regional variations, jrr-bnn became ja-pan, ni-pon, ni-hon, je-pang and so on. It’s interesting to note that even the flags of Japan are based on the Chinese point of view—they show the rising sun. Now from the point of the indigenous people of that land, of course, it was NOT the place where the sun rose. From their point of view, the sun rose not from their island, but from somewhere distant in the Pacific Ocean. So the concept of these islands as a place called Japan, as the Land of the Rising Sun, is in itself a Chinese concept. . THE OTHER SIDE Okay, that’s 12 more ideas on this theme. Want to add others? Or dispute the ones just mentioned? Go right ahead. I’m always willing to learn. Some people asked for examples of trends which go the other way—I can immediately think of one. The lucky cat you see in shops in China are assumed to be Chinese but seem to have originated in Japan. If you have more examples, I’d like to hear them. Peace.

On this day in 1945, the United States dropped the ‘Little Boy’ nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, Japan🇯🇵. 140,000 people were killed in Hiroshima by the end of 1945. Militarily, the move was pointless as Imperial Japan’s military machine was close to finished, and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin was about to send the Red Army juggernaut to open a second front against Japan. Instead, the bomb was dropped to justify the billions spent on the Manhattan Project and to frighten the Soviet Union. After Hiroshima was wiped off the map and the population began to suffer the effects of radiation, the United States covered up the destruction and the hell that had been created. Officials would downplay the number of civilian casualties in the two cities and dispute as “propaganda” reports from Japan of extreme suffering caused by “radiation disease.” George Weller of the Chicago Daily News, began filing graphic reports on the human cost of the bombing. His stories would be quashed by the censorship office and would not become public for 60 years. The US censorship office under General Douglas MacArthur prohibited all reporting and photography by Japanese journalists. The US military seized all historic newsreel footage shot days after the bombing, this footage would disappear forever. The US then ordered the same Japanese film crew to shoot a documentary, which would be labelled as Top Secret and buried in the archives for the next two and a half decades. The more graphic colour footage shot by the US military would be classified for the next 3 decades. President Harry Truman, and all successive US Presidents have failed to even apologise for the horrors that unfolded after the nuclear weapons were used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
