May 28, 2005 A new history textbook for middle schools has been written by a committee of 54 scholars from Japan, China, and South Korea. It is believed to be the first time these nations have worked together to produce a common history. Work began in March 2002 in the Chinese city of Nanjing. Eleven committee meetings were needed to work through the more controversial parts. Chinese authorities have complained in recent years about Japanese history textbooks , and anti-Japanese movements took place in China last month. They argue that the textbooks whitewash Japan's historical record of war aggression in the past century. The new 249-page textbook devotes more than 60 pages to discussion of Japan's invasion of Korea and China in World War II, and wartime atrocities committed by the Japanese. Some of the more controversial subjects include: The Nanjing Massacre or "Rape of Nanking", the looting, rape, and mass killings committed by the Japanese in

Japan, Land of the Rising Sun Japan is an archipelago, or a group of islands, about 100 miles east of the Asian mainland. The ancient Japanese knew about China and Korea, but they did not know of any land east of their islands. They believed theirs was the first land awakened by the rising sun. The Japanese call their land Nippon, meaning "Land of the Rising Sun." The Europeans learned of Japan from the Chinese, who mispronounced the name as Zipango. That word eventually evolved into Japan. Top of Page National Profiles Japan Profile While retaining its time-honored culture, Japan rapidly absorbed Western technology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. After its devastating defeat in World War II, Japan recovered to become the second most powerful economy in the world and a staunch ally of the US. Japan Japan is an island state comprising a group of four principal islands and several smaller ones, off the east coast of Asia. It is bound by the Sea of Japan, the Korea Strait and the East China Sea to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east and the La Perouse Strait to the north.

Japan Japan History and Government History: The earliest recorded history of Japan dates back to the reign of the emperor Jimmu during the sixth century BC. Japan was subject to strong Chinese and Korean influence thereafter, but was unable to develop a strong centralised State based on the Chinese model. Political and economic power was in the hands of a group of noble dynasties which operated on a largely feudal basis. The 12th century AD saw the emergence of the shogun , a military governor drawn from one of the great families, who ruled with the consent of the others, although most of their energies were devoted to internecine warfare. Only an external threat such as the attempted Mongol invasions in the late 13th century would unite the various families against the common enemy. This helped create a latent national consciousness which slowly developed over the next 300 years. The actual unification of Japan began during the Tokugawa period (1600-1868), during which a national administrative hierarchy was forged from the family structures of the ruling class. During this period the

Your browser does not support javascript Mirrors to Japanese History Volume 51 Number 3, May/June 1998 by Walter Edwards In perhaps their most important find of the decade, Japanese archaeologists have recovered 33 bronze mirrors from a third-century A.D. keyhole-shaped burial mound in the Yamato region in central Japan, stirring debate over a mysterious country called Yamatai and its enigmatic queen, Himiko. Known only from an early Chinese text, the Wei Chih, Yamatai is said to have controlled some 30 other countries making up the Japanese islands in the mid-third century A.D. Its ruler Himiko sent gifts to the court of the Chinese Wei Dynasty (220-256) in 239; return gifts included 100 bronze mirrors. The Wei Chih (compiled ca. 290) is considered one of the most reliable of the Chinese dynastic histories, but its record of this exchange leaves Yamatai's precise location ambiguous. While the excavation of keyhole tombs has become common in postwar Japan (with the exception of a small number designated as belonging to the imperial line, see " Japan's New Past ," March/April 1997), few third-century tombs have been found. The discovery of so many mirrors in an early keyhole tomb is thus a rare event. While this alone has fueled a media blitz in Japan, public interest in Yamatai has long been keen. All Japanese are aware of the debate over its location, which is covered in middle-school history courses. Moreover, Himiko is the oldest named Japanese historical figure, and press accounts have stressed the possibility that the newly discovered items are "Himiko's mirrors," part of the gift she received from the Wei court.
